Leamington's Animal store closing down

Leamington branch of Animal is set to close.

In March it was announced that Animal, a surfing-inspired fashion store, would cease trading by the end of January 2021.

The Leamington branch, which is located inside the Royal Priors Shopping Centre, will be one of the many across the UK closing down.

The shop currently has 'closing down' sale posters on the windows and the company said the branch will be closing on Sunday (September 20).

A spokesperson from Animal said: "As a result of the extremely challenging retail market which has now further worsened due to Covid-19, H. Young announces it will be closing its Animal

business by the end of January 2021.

"This will obviously be a very sad announcement for all Animal's hardworking employees and its loyal customers.

"In this period Animal will continue trading through its stores and its website and its clothing will also be available through its distributors.

"Finally we would like to thank everyone for all their support over these many years."
