SHOPPERS have been left "gutted" after a major discount chain with 500 branches prepares to shut its store in hours. Savers is pulling down the shutters at its branch in Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire , today in another blow to the town. Locals wishing to visit Savers following the closure will need to trek to the chain's other stores in Tenby or Carmarthen.
A post on the branch's Facebook page previously confirmed the closure date. It states: "It is with great sadness that Haverfordwest Savers will be closing its doors for the last time on Saturday, June 15. "Management and team would like to take this opportunity to thank all our amazing customers, past and present for your custom and support and wish you all well in the future .
"Thank you all." Punters have since taken to social media to vent their frustration at the store closing. One wrote on Facebook: "Absolutely gutted for you guys, thanks for everything, it has always been a pleasure popping in, wishing you all on to bigger and better things!" A second wrote: "Oh no! Sad to hear this.
Used to be a frequent customer when I lived nearby. While some said that the closure was "terrible" news. Another commented: "Sorry to see you guys go from Haverfordwest.
"Always great service from all the staff and a great selection of products and great value. "Will miss you. Hope all the staff are looked after.
" Savers was purchased by A.S. Watson Group, the world's largest international health and beauty retailer, in 2000.
