Mystery still surrounds the site of a former Poundland store in a Trowbridge shopping centre where a ‘national retailer’ is set to open its doors.

In February, the Times reported that The Shires Shopping Centre in Trowbridge is preparing to welcome a ‘national retailer’ to a vacant unit.

The unit in The Shires Shopping Centre that was most recently Poundland is set to welcome a reportedly 'high-profile shop' to the site.

Photos show signs reading “terms agreed” posted in the windows of the unit.

At the time, centre manager Sarah Moore confirmed that site is set to be taken over by a “national retailer”, however added that no more information about the retailer was available at this time.

In November last year, the Wiltshire Times reported that the site had come under offer from a mystery buyer.

The space had reportedly been vacant since Saturday, July 20, when Poundland closed its flagship store in the centre after deciding not to renew its lease on the unit.
