Another trader in Newport 's Friars Walk has confirmed its closure, with Jack & Jones announcing it will not be reopening its store there.
The men's fashion brand has confirmed it will not be reopening its Newport store after Wales' current lockdown, making it the third retailer to depart the shopping centre this year.
A spokesperson for Bestseller, the Danish clothing company which owns Jack & Jones, confirmed that the Newport store would not be reopening after lockdown.
It is understood that the reasons for the store's departure are due to the increase in empty units and a fall in footfall.
