A closing date has been confirmed for a Dereham shop after more than 25 years of trading in the town.

The Original Factory Shop, on Matsell Way, will be shutting its doors on Saturday, February 28.

It follows the chain entering administration at the end of January, with Interpath Advisory appointed to oversee the business.

A closing-down sale is ongoing, with discounts of between 30pc and 60pc off all products, including clothing, gardening and electrical.

Rick Harrison, managing director at Interpath and joint administrator, said: "The Original Factory Shop has long been a cornerstone of local high streets up and down the country.

"Unfortunately, however, trading challenges have impacted the business such that the company had to be placed into administration.

"Over the coming weeks, we will be working closely with The Original Factory Shop's dedicated team of employees as we endeavour to operate all stores as a going concern while we assess options for the business."

The shop has advised customers to be respectful to staff during the branch's final days of trading.
