Our last day will be May 31, 2024. “It’s been a pleasure Devizes! We’ll miss you." The closure means the nearest Vodafone store for locals is now in Trowbridge and Marlborough.
Vodafone confirmed the closure to The Sun saying: "Whilst we remain committed to supporting the UK high street, we are always reviewing our operations to ensure we can best meet the needs of our customers. "As a result, our Devizes store has recently closed.” They also assured loyal customers the closure was completely due to location based issues rather than a wider company problem.
Locals were left upset by the sudden closure and took to social media in their thousands to leave comments under the announcement post. One said: "It's a shame, they were always helpful." Most read in Money EXIT SHOCK James Bis.
