Clothing and lifestyle shop shuts Bournemouth branch suddenly
A LIFESTYLE brand has closed its Bournemouth store suddenly.
FatFace, on Old Christchurch Road, has closed its doors.
It comes as a shock to locals and shoppers, who go to enter the popular shop to find the doors locked and notices posted on the door announcing its closure.

The closure comes after the business announced it would be shutting its Peterborough branch on June 15, just fewer than two years after FatFace was bought by Next.
The announcement for the Peterborough branch was made a few weeks prior to its final day.
FatFace has been contacted for more information.
