High street card shop with over 60 locations launches another ‘everything must go’ closing down sale
A HIGH street card shop with over 60 locations has launched another “everything must go” closing down sale.
Cardzone in Stroud, Gloucestershire, has put up a sign saying there is 20 per cent off its products as the store prepares to bring the shutters down for good.
Located in Stroud High Street, the card and gift retailer is yet to announce its final day of trading, however.
But shoppers hoping to make one last purchase should do so sooner rather than later.
The store is currently open between 9am – 4.30pm, Monday to Friday.
On Saturday’s they remain open until 5pm, before closing fully on Sunday’s.
It remains unclear whether these opening times will be affected by the store’s closure.
The Sun has contacted Cardzone for comment.
Cardzone’s closure is just the latest change to Stroud High Street, however, with Shoezone shutting for good on Friday, April 19, the Stroud News & Journal report.
Clarks is also due to shut down over the next month.
Following the news of Cardzone’s closure, one disgruntled local said Stroud “will soon consist” of just eateries “and charity shops”.
It comes after “store closing down” and “everything must go” signs were spotted in the windows of the Reigate Cardzone branch.
A spokesperson for Cardzone previously told The Sun that the store will close in early 2024 – but did not reveal an exact date.
Two other Cardzone stores shut their doors for good last year.
The retailer, which has stores across the UK, shut branches in Beeston and Kirkby in Ashfield, both in Nottinghamshire.
It’s not just card retailers which have been struggling in recent years.
The high street has been hit hard as people turn to online retail and away from physical sites.
High inflation from last year has meant households’ budgets haven’t stretched as far either.
It has seen some retailers, including Paperchase and Wilko go bust completely.
Others have been forced to close stores to ensure they stay profitable.
