Tesco at Wakefield's Westgate Retail Park set to permanently close

The store at Westgate Retail Park will close for good next Friday.

The supermarket giant, located in Westgate Retail Park, will close its doors for good next week.

The store only opened early last year after replacing the discount branch, Jack’s, which was axed.

A sign on the window of the store states that it is permanently closing on Friday, September 15, which is believed to be due to low customer demand.

Based on low customer demand, Tesco have made the decision to close the Wakefield Superstore on Friday next week.

Tesco say there are three Tesco Express stores across the district, which will continue to serve the community – Barnsley Road, Stanley Road and Leeds Road – and staff at the Westgate Retail Park store will have the option to be redepolyed to another store in the area.
