TESCO has announced they will be closing their store in Emery Gate, Chippenham and relocating to smaller premises on Chippenham High Street.
The store has been in the Emery Gate shopping centre for 15 years, having signed a lease in 2008, but bosses say they have taken the 'difficult decision' to move to a smaller unit on the High Street and open as a Tesco Express.
A spokesperson for Tesco said: “We have taken the difficult decision to close our Chippenham Superstore.
“We have however secured a new smaller premises in Chippenham town centre which we will open as Tesco Chippenham High Street Express, and we look forward to continuing to serve our customers at our local stores.”
Speculation is rife that the new store may be going into the former Wilkinson's unit at the bottom of the High Street though any further details of closure or where the new store will be situated are yet to be announced.
