A major UK footwear retailer has announced it will be closing down its Crewe retail park store - following crunch talks with the landlord.

Shoe Zone, Grand Junction Retail Park, announced it is closing down its Crewe store in the near future.

On Friday (February 24), a member of staff at Shoe Zone Crewe told Nub News talks remain ongoing with the landlord.

As of 2021, Shoe Zone had over 410 stores in different cities and towns throughout the UK and Ireland - with over 2,854 employees (Ryan Parker).

They said there is a possibility the issues surrounding the Crewe store will be sorted - although this remains unlikely.

Shoe Zone was founded in England in 1917 - with its headquarters based in Leicester.

The chain store sells shoes for women, women and children at small prices.
