A high street chain is shutting its store in the city centre and relocating to a Fratton shopping centre.
Fashion and homeware retailer Matalan will be relocating from Station Street in the city centre to a new store in the Pompey Centre. The move comes amidst plans which will see the B&Q store at the shopping centre reduced in size and make way for three other businesses.
Aldi and Home Bargains were revealed as prospective tenants last year, and a map on the Matalan website appears to suggest that its new store will take the remaining position inside the revamped unit.
A Matalan spokesperson said the current Station Street store will close on Saturday, September 30 and the new one will open in “mid Autumn” – with an exact date yet to be confirmed.
