A SPORTS superstore in Catterick Garrison is set to close after announcing a closing down sale.
Sports Direct at the Princes Gate Retail Park in Catterick Garrison is set to close after bosses rejected a rent reduction, agents for the landlords have confirmed.
Signs advising prices had been reduced because the store was closing down were put up recently.
Mark Williams, from property consultants Mason Owen, said: "“I can confirm that Sports Direct had a break clause in the original lease that was granted to them when they took the unit in 2015.
“They choose to operate this break clause in February this year, which was before the Government restrictions in relation to Covid-19 took effect.
“My client has been in negotiations with them for some time, and has offered a reduction in the rent that they were paying, but they have decided they no longer want to remain trading at Princes Gate." Sports Direct has been approached for comment.
