Shoppers in Harrogate have spoken of their disappointment that Debenhams is to close after the company announced it was entering administration.
A failed deal with another major retailer means the company is set to enter liquidation.
The Harrogate store reopened yesterday offering shoppers their usual products at discounted prices.
But staff face uncertain futures as they await news of a confirmed closure date. The demise of Debenhams came a day after Ripon’s only department store Wrens, announced it would not be opening again after lockdown.
Shopper Rose Dykes was among those sad to see Debenhams go. She said:
“Debenhams has been here for a long, long time.
“I think it will be really missed in Harrogate.”
Rose says the store will be ‘missed’ in Harrogate.
