Major clothing chain with over 150 stores across UK to shut shop in the New Year

A MAJOR clothing chain with over 150 stores across the UK will shut for good in the New Year.

Matalan will close its site in Chester come January 4 in a blow to local shoppers.

Many took to social media to share their devastation, with one writing they were “gutted” while another said it was “sad” for the staff.

Another said the area is becoming a “ghost town,” and a fourth said they thought the shop “would be next“.
