SHOPPERS have been left fuming after a supermarket with 2,500 stores is set to close one location in weeks.<\/p>\n

Co-op's College Green store in Bristol will be closing its doors for the final time next month.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The supermarket confirmed that the final day of trading would be December 9 before the shutters come down for good.<\/p>\n

The city centre store opened in\u00a0November 2018, two years after the former Morrisons M-Local shop\u00a0closed down. <\/p>\n

But just five years after moving in, the shop will again become empty.<\/p>\n

Competition from other rival supermarkets could be a factor, as\u00a0Tesco\u00a0and Sainsburys are both nearby in the\u00a0city centre.<\/p>\n

And staff have reportedly been reassured of jobs in other branches across the city after the closure next month.<\/p>\n

Shoppers on social media were quick to weigh in with their opinions on the situation.<\/p>\n

One wrote on Facebook: "Even supermarkets are closing now, this country is closing down last person out switch the lights off."<\/p>\n

Another said: "All the businesses and shops are closing in the zone as predicted!! Well done marv and clown's amazing work destroying Bristol!!"<\/p>\n

A spokesperson for Co-op, confirmed: \u201cCo-op regularly reviews its stores and, only after careful consideration has the decision been taken for its store in College Green, Bristol, to close next month. <\/p>\n

"Our priority has been to fully support colleagues, with positions in Co-op stores locally offered to all employees. <\/p>\n

"Co-op remains committed to serving and supporting its Members and customers in Bristol, and operates around 30 stores in communities in and around the City, including two within a mile of College Green."<\/p>\n

It comes after a high street shop with over 160 stores loved by parents has announced the closure of another location.<\/p>\n

Major toy chain\u00a0The Entertainer\u00a0is set to pull down the shutters of one of its branches located in a popular\u00a0Bristol\u00a0shopping centre.<\/p>\n

It comes just days after the store announced they would be\u00a0closing another one of its town centre branches, with locals left devastated.<\/p>\n

But it's not just toy stores that have been hit hard, many high street retailers have been struggling to stay afloat over the past few years, especially following the\u00a0Covid-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n

At the same time the\u00a0cost of living\u00a0has been rising, leading to shoppers cutting back on non-essential spending.<\/p>\n

Energy costs\u00a0have soared and more consumers than ever are taking their shopping online rather than physically visiting brick-and-mortar stores.<\/p>\n

This has left several retailers grappling with budgets and being forced to\u00a0close branches to slash costs.<\/p>\n

Argos\u00a0today revealed it is closing its standalone store at Kettering\u00a0Retail\u00a0Park for the final time.<\/p>\n

Boots recently revealed it would be closing 300 stores over the next year as part of plans to\u00a0evolve its brand.\u00a0<\/p>\n

B&M has already closed nine of its stores\u00a0since February this year.<\/p>\n

Popular chains including\u00a0M&Co, Paperchase, and\u00a0Wilko\u00a0closed all stores in 2023.<\/p>\n
