Another empty unit for Leeds retail park as Peacocks closes down

A high-street fashion store has closed its doors for good at a Leeds retail park.

Peacocks, at Kirkstall Bridge Shopping Park, closed its doors for the final time on Monday (September 21).

The fashion chain announced a series of closures across the country this week.

The announcement comes more than a year after the retailer had initially posted signs stating that they would be closing.

A spokesperson at the time said: "Peacocks have over 500 stores nationwide. We are constantly reviewing our costs to ensure the long-term profitability of our company.

"Unfortunately, this means we have a few stores that are closing down."

This comes after M&S Food also left the retail park last year - leaving two big units available at the shopping centre.

Peacocks is just the latest shop closure we have seen in Leeds this year - with many coming before the coronavirus pandemic took hold and completely changed the way people shop.

During 2020, we’ve seen Timberland, Thorntons, Monsoon and others close branches in Leeds city centre.
