The store is located inside the Maybird shopping park in Stratford-upon-Avon, and will shut for good on Satuday, October 28.<\/p>\n

A New Look spokesperson confirmed the closure to The Sun and said:\u00a0"As part of the normal course of business, New Look occasionally closes stores, while also undertaking relocations and new site openings.<\/p>\n

"While some sites have closed recently, we have opened a number of new stores this year and we remain on the lookout for appropriate new opportunities across the country."<\/p>\n

  But it's not all bad news though. <\/p>\n

  The Fosse Park Shopping Park, branch in Leicestershire\u00a0pulled down its shutters in the summer to make way for a bigger venue.<\/p>\n

  New Look has also opened a store in Grimsby recently and is opening in Leicester next week.<\/p>\n

  It also has plans to open more stores in 2023, though it hasn't said how many and where in the UK they'll be.<\/p>\n

  The high street has suffered in recent years due to the switch to online shopping, especially during the\u00a0pandemic.<\/p>\n

  In the last year the\u00a0cost of living\u00a0has been rising, meaning shoppers are cutting back on most non-essential spending.<\/p>\n

  This means that brick and mortar stores have seen less footfall.<\/p>\n

  Familiar brands including the likes of\u00a0M&Co\u00a0and Paperchase closed all of their stores earlier this year after falling into administration.<\/p>\n

  And several\u00a0bargain chains are closing\u00a0sites too.<\/p>\n
