Gloucester Debenhams to re-open for final sale

Debenhams is reopening some stores nationwide from next Monday for a major sale to clear stock – and Gloucester is one of them.

The store in King’s Square will reopen for three to five weeks for bargain-hunters and will then close permanently.

The high-street retailer was bought out of administration by fashion brand Boohoo in a deal which did not include the retention of staff or stores.

Debenhams announced its reopening for the sale, with items slashed by up to 70pc, stating: “We’re excited to be able to start welcoming you back into our stores and want to reassure you that the safety of our customers and staff remains our highest priority.”
