Sheffield shops: National retail chain Trespass announces closure of city centre store

Trespass on The Moor has ‘closing down’ posters in the window. The Star understands it will shut for good in early August. It opened three years ago.

The decision is a blow to The Moor which is Sheffield’s main retail area and has relatively few vacancies compared to Fargate, which is shifting towards leisure and hospitality.

Empty shops on The Moor include Debenhams, Burton/Dorothy Perkins and Miss Selfridge.
