A major retailer has announced it is closing up shop at the end of the month.
House of Fraser opened its collection-point store in Aberdeen’s Union Square five years ago.
But it has announced that following a review it will be leaving the centre, with last orders being collected on Wednesday, August 24.
It is understood the company has entered into consultation with its staff.
A House of Fraser spokeswoman said: “Following a thorough review of the store and with the lease up for renewal, House of Fraser confirms it will be closing its Buy & Collect store in Aberdeen at the end of August 2016.
“Our customers in and around Aberdeen will still be able to shop from our House of Fraser website and choose from our many delivery options to suit their needs. Buy & Collect remains integral to our leading multichannel proposition, and we will continue to invest in enhancing our B&C areas throughout our existing store portfolio.”
It is the second time the company has left the Granite City. There was previously a House of Fraser store in the city’s Union Street, which was closed in 2003 with more than 100 job losses.
