Sheffield shops: Large Matalan in popular shopping centre days from closure
A large clothes and homeware store in Sheffield is days away from closing.
Matalan, on Heeley Retail Park, will close on March 7, the company has announced.
The shopping centre is on Chesterfield Road in Meersbrook. Other shops nearby include Boots, Currys, The Food Warehouse, a gym and a Costa.
One customer posted on a local Facebook forum: “I went last week, it’s so sad there’s hardly anything there now.”
Matalan has not revealed if staff would be made redundant.
Previously it said: “Our priority now is to support our colleagues.

“We are working closely with all those affected and, where possible, exploring alternative positions.”
The company has a store at Parkway Central retail park.
A spokesperson for Heeley Retail Park said Matalan was set to be replaced by a padel club, opening this summer.
