It appears that the recent rumours circulating about the future, or lack of it, of Yorkshire Trading Company on Lumley Road are true.
Apparently, not seen it myself, there is a sign in the window stating that the store will be closing.
Following hard on the heels of the closure of Marks and Spencers this is far from good news.
So what is happening with Skegness and large shops? Is the town not big enough to support these businesses, are they the wrong businesses for the town? What is going on? Is this a case of not enough people using the store, a "use it or lose it" scenario?
Is it a case that the rents the landlords are charging are too high to allow the survival of the stores? There are many possibilities I suppose.
Whatever the reason, two of the largest store-fronts on Lumley Road being empty is not a great advert for the town is it?
Is there anything that can be done?
