A BARGAIN chain with more than 500 sites is set to close an "amazing" store in just days. The Works is pulling down the shutters on one of its sites in east London on May 30. The site is located in the Heathway Shopping Centre, Dagenham.
Local shoppers shared their disappointment to the news on social media. One said: "So council buy The Mall and now we hear The Works is closing down. Soon it'll be charity and betting shops only.
"Sounds like a great policy for rejuvenating a failing shopping centre at our expense." The branch has been described as "amazing" in Google reviews. A reviewer wrote: "Amazing customer service.
Popped in here last weekend and the manager was so helpful- she was friendly, approachable and so willing to help everyone." Another hailed: "Lovely arts and crafts shop. Does inexpensive toys and stocking fillers for Xmas.
"Does a good selection of books for adults and kids. Friendly staff." A third posted: "Positive and welcoming atmosphere.
Great range of products to fill most needs. Highly recommended." While a fourth said: "Very helpful staff good range of products good quality and store very.
" And another wrote: "They are plenty of toys, games, books, puzzles, stationery, art and craft stuff, Christmas stuff, diaries and calendars, gift bags, cards, balloons, board games, cardboard storage boxes, and more both for adults and kids." Unfortunately the closure seems to have been out of the chain's control. EMPTY shops have become an eyesore on many British.
