WH Smith is closing a store in North Wales.

The retailer has announced the shop on Station Road in Colwyn Bay will close at the end of July. 

The brand is understood to have first opened in the town back in the 1920s and this move is a major blow to the town centre.

Bosses said they would try to relocate staff to nearby stores.

A WH Smith spokeswoman said: “We can confirm that the WHSmith store in Colwyn Bay will close later this year.

"Unfortunately, we are unable to trade viably from this location and the decision has been taken to close the store as a result of the lease expiry in July.

"As one of the largest supporters of the º£½ÇÊÓÆµ high street, we are disappointed to be losing our presence in Colwyn Bay and we would like to thank all our customers for their support and for shopping with us.

"We are also extremely grateful for the commitment of our in store colleagues who we will support with this transition and redeploy to nearby stores, where possible.”
