A national chain is pulling out of Salisbury's Old George Mall, just five months after arriving in the city.

Gift and gadget store Menkind will be closing in a week's time - Monday 29th January.

The shop had a soft launch in the summer, opening up without much warning, and trading through the autumn and Christmas periods.

In a statement, the business say the Salisbury store suffered from difficult trading conditions:

“We are always looking for opportunities to open new Menkind stores, unfortunately the store in Salisbury performed below our expectations, hence we have taken the difficult decision to close the store.

"For Salisbury customers the nearest Menkind store is at West Quay Shopping Centre, Southampton, or alternatively shop online at www.menkind.co.uk.”
