The big picture: The national retailer's departure marks the end of its temporary trading period over the Christmas months. The store opened on 19 October 2024 in the former Body Shop premises, offering calendars, diaries and gifts throughout the festive period.

What they're saying: "We were pleased to be able to work with our client and Calendar Club to find a suitably prominent pop-up premises in the heart of the town centre," Penn Commercial said.

The property agents added they "look forward to working with the team again later this year."

The bottom line: The closure was part of Calendar Club's planned temporary trading strategy, which sees the retailer operate seasonal stores across the UK during Christmas months.
