An iconic outdoor clothing store has become the latest victim to the dwindling high street after confirming their store will close.
Major clothing brand Trespass has announced their shop in Coventry will shut their doors and announced an ‘everything must go’ sale.
The retailer, which has 300 branches in the UK, has not yet announced if jobs will be affected.
They employ 1,500 people but around a dozen of their locations have closed this year.
In July 2023 they confirmed six of its UK outlets will shut down.
This includes a location in Norwich which shut in September, with customers saying ‘the days of high street shopping are over’.
But active-wear lovers should not fear too much, as the brand bosses announced they would move to a new location to maintain a presence in the city.
The new location will be in the Castle Quarter area of Norwich.
The opening date is yet to be confirmed.

A new tenant for the site is yet to be confirmed.
