  No real surprise to see the axe fall on the non food sections, just a glance in our local one shows a vibrant food sector but quiet in the rest of the shop. As we know when our one moves to the DTIZ that will be food only and I heard today that the Deal branch is doing the same.

  Not as many facing closure as anticipated and being spread over a long period. I think they will eventually just be food only stores.

  It was announced it was shutting a few years ago. Presumably the one in DTIZ will be open be then.
