The Original Factory Shop has announced the closure of eleven branches across the UK, including the store in Middlewich, Cheshire, which will close on June 28. This follows a previous announcement of ten additional store closures and the sale of five more locations as part of a company voluntary arrangement aimed at avoiding insolvency. Residents have expressed disappointment over the local impact, highlighting concerns about the decline of the high street amid broader challenges faced by retailers, including rising business costs.
