<\/p>\nHIGH street shops are disappearing left, right and centre and there's a whole host of stores closing in September.<\/p>\n
Iceland, Wetherspoons, Homebase and other top brands are pulling down the shutters on several of their shops next month.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Some stores will be\u00a0replaced with brand new shops\u00a0while others will leave the high street forever.<\/p>\n
Retailers\u00a0have been feeling the pinch since the pandemic while shoppers are cutting back on spending due to soaring\u00a0inflation.<\/p>\n
High energy costs and a shift to shopping online after the pandemic are also taking a toll and many high street shops have struggled to keep going.<\/p>\n
Here's a full list of some well-known retailers that will be shutting dozens of branches this September:<\/p>\n
