BANGOR'S TG Jones store is set to close in January, with the town’s Post Office also due to close as a result.
TG Jones, formerly known as WHSmith, is expected to shut on Saturday, January 9, 2027, following a closing-down sale.
The Post Office has confirmed that its branch, which operates from inside the store, will also close in early 2027.
The closure of the stationery, book and gift store follows the implementation of TG Jones' 'Court-approved Restructuring Plan'.
The Post Office intends to open a replacement branch, but said it could take around six months.
A Post Office spokesperson said: “We fully recognise the challenging trading conditions that TG Jones and many other High Street retailers are facing at the moment.
