Supermarket chain Iceland is to shut one of its York shops next month, it has announced.
The branch in Stirling Road at Clifton Moor will permanently close on February 12.
Signs have gone up at the shop, encouraging customers to instead use its larger Food Warehouse store, half a mile away in Hurricane Way.
Shoppers at the old store this week are being offered discount vouchers for the larger one.
The Food Warehouse stores have becoming a growing focus for the company, since the first one opened in 2014.
It opened its 150th last autumn, and told the trade magazine The Grocer that it hoped to reach 200 by 2024.
The Food Warehouse at Clifton Moor, in the old Mothercare building next to Smyth’s toy shop, opened in 2019.
At that time, the company said the Stirling Road store would remain open as well, but it has now decided to concentrate on the larger shop. The Stirling Road shop has been there since 2013.
The company opened a second Food Warehouse in York last year, at Foss Islands, and also has another Iceland branch in Fulford.
