ADMINISTRATORS have confirmed what the sale signs have said for weeks – Boscombe’s TJ Hughes is closing down.
The store employs 40-50 staff and is one of 22 branches around the country that will cease trading between August 10 and 14.
Administrator Ernst and Young said it is still looking for buyers for the remaining 31 stores.
An associate company of the Liverpool-based firm Benross bought out several TJ Hughes stores in Liverpool, Eastbourne, Glasgow and Sheffield.
Sovereign Centre manager Raymond McGlynn has pledged to fill the space left by Boscombe’s TJ Hughes as soon as possible.
