THE date a landmark department store will open its doors for the last time in East Lancashire has been revealed.
The Debenhams based in The Mall Shopping Centre, Blackburn, is to close down forever on May 15.
A spokesperson said: “ Over the next 10 days, Debenhams will close its doors on the high street for the final time in its 242 year history. Our sincere thanks go out to all of our colleagues and customers who have joined us on this journey. We hope to see you all one last time in stores before we say a final goodbye to the UK high street.”
The department store chain collapsed at the end of last year, with the closure of all its stores confirmed after Boohoo agreed to only buy its website and brand in a £55 million rescue deal.
