The Moor in Sheffield city centre
A big name brand has shut their shop in Sheffield city centre.
We’d previously reported on plans for The Entertainer in The Moor to close. The toy specialist has now ceased trading in Sheffield city centre.
Ahead of its last day, customers could take advantage of some significant discounts on products. Explaining the closure, Andrew Murphy OBE, group chief executive officer at The Entertainer, said: “We are disappointed that we were unable to agree on commercially viable terms with our landlord at our Sheffield Moor store and particularly upset at the impact this has on our colleagues, who have run the store brilliantly.
“Sadly, it is a fact of retail life that shops sometimes have to close, as shopping patterns shift and cost growth outstrips sales increases. We remain committed to serving the people of Sheffield through our amazingly successful store at Meadowhall.”
