What shops have gone from your town centre?

[BercowsFestiveFlamingo]

Inspired by another thread about Christmas shopping that got me thinking how downhill my nearest big town has gone over the past 7-10 or so years.

Here's my list of what has gone:

M&S
BHS
Millets
Disney Store
Monsoon
Borders
Starbucks
Dorothy Perkins
Laura Ashley
Toy r Us
Mothercare
Early Learning centre
Top shop
Barratts Shoes
Several independent shops and restaurants
Independent department store
Dolcis
Woolworths

Going back further:
C&A
Etam
Benneton
Toy and Hobby (remember there?!)

None of these stores have been replaced by anything similar and the town is now a depressing place that I avoid. It's so sad.

Is your town similar?

Until 2017, there were five department stores in Leicester :
Fenwick
House of Fraser
Debenhams
BHS
John Lewis

Now, the first three have gone and Debenhams is struggling.

One of the nearest towns has lost

H&M
M&S
Debenhams
Woolworths
Next
New Look
Costa
Mothercare
Topshop

It's basically a derelict town now with only pound shops or random cheap clothes shops.

Yes, yes that's all very sad but how many bookies do you now have?
You have so much choice on fobt you are spoiled.
