There was bad news on the retail front in recent days as one shop closed and another announced its intention to.
Val-U-Centre, located at the former Jack & Jones and Vero Moda outlet on Clanbrassil Street, has now shut down.
The move is likely to be motivated by the decision of Dealz to open in the former National Irish Bank building in Earl Street later this summer.
Meanwhile, Heaven in the Marshes Shopping Centre also plans to shut its doors and is hosting a closing down sale at present. Everything is €15 and under, with the store not due to close for a couple of months yet.
Heaven has been in business for 10 years but the boutique’s online store www.vavavoom.ie will continue trading after the closure.
