Rhyl: A big name on the high street is closing 17 shops soon. WHSmith is one of those stores we all know. They’ve been shutting down locations for a while now.

The closures are happening all over the UK. They’re set to happen between now and May. It’s a tough time for many towns, especially seaside spots like Rhyl.

The Rhyl store is closing on February 15. This is just another hit for the town. Other recent closures include shops in Colwyn Bay and Bangor city center.

Some stores are having “everything-must-go” sales. If you’re near one, it might be worth a look for some good deals. People on Facebook are really upset about this news.

One shopper said they saw it coming. They feel like the high street is dying. It’s sad to see so many jobs at risk. Let’s hope the staff find new work soon.

Here’s a quick list of WHSmith closures happening soon: Bournemouth, Luton, March, Basingstoke, Newtown, Winton, Rhyl, Bolton, Accrington, Halstead, Halesowen, Diss, Newport, Haverhill, Stockton, Oldham, and Orpington.
