Exeter's House of Fraser to close

Signs have been put up in shop windows advertising a closing down sale

Back in the summer the troubled chain said it would close the Plymouth store, but not Exeter.

It was then bought by Sports Direct Owner Mike Ashley for £90million.

2 days ago he sacked the senior managers and directors of House of Fraser. Announcing the sackings, Sports Direct said: "Following the collapse of House of Fraser on August 10 2018, and subsequent calls for an investigation into the circumstances of that collapse, the company today announces that we have dismissed the former directors and senior management of House of Fraser."

Mr Ashley had blamed greedy landlords for the closures of some stores - like Edinburgh, Hull and Swindon, but it's understood the store on Exeter High Street is part-owned by the company. 

It's understood the store will close in January.
