The shop shut this week
Holland & Barrett has closed its Pontefract shop as part of the retailer’s ongoing £70 million investment programme.
Signs announcing the closure were recently displayed outside the branch on Salter Row, and the shop closed its doors on Wednesday (September 9).
A spokesperson for Holland & Barrett said: “This is part of an ongoing £70 million investment into transforming our stores, which includes new store openings, refurbishments, relocations, lease expiries and closures, with decisions focused on ensuring we are operating from the right locations to best serve customers both in-store and online.
“Over the past three years, we have significantly expanded and upgraded our UK and Ireland footprint through new locations and refitted stores, while continuing to adapt to changing shopping patterns and evolving high streets.
“These changes form part of Holland & Barrett’s wider transformation to support long-term, sustainable growth and we remain committed to maintaining a strong presence across the UK and Ireland.”
