I have it on good authority that the Guildhall and Stafford is to lose another long standing shop from the town.
The combined Top Shop and Top Man store is to leave within the next few weeks.
Stock is already being transferred to neighbouring branches and they are no longer taking new deliveries of goods.
They stated the reason for the closure is they didn't want to be tied into a lease longer than a year with the Guildhall and the Guildhall owners were unwilling to budge on the tenancy agreement.
Seems madness that the Guildhall were unwilling to extend the lease temporarily , seeing as the shops almost definitely going to be left to rot now.
Another blow is , were not going to get a replacement in the new mall next year. The new store is going to feature an Arcadia Group "Outfit" store, featuring the best from all their brands.
Only a matter of time before O2 looks for a new high street premises, think that n Claire's are the last two real shops in there !
