💨 Abstract

In June 2025, several major retailers are closing stores due to high operational costs, reduced footfall, and increased online shopping. Notable closures include the discount chain store "The Original Factory Shop" closing nine stores, Poundland closing a store in London with more at risk, and an unnamed but iconic department store closing permanently. Other retailers like The Works, Iceland, and Ginger are also shutting down specific stores.
