Debenhams has now confirmed when the Harrow branch will shut, as its remaining stores are set to close.

The department store chain collapsed at the end of last year, with the closure of all its stores confirmed after Boohoo agreed to only buy its website and brand in a £55 million rescue deal.

Now the branch in Harrow has been given an official closing date of May 12.

Elsewhere, 52 of the remaining stores will shut this Saturday (May 8) and the rest of the stores will shut along with the Harrow branch on May 12, and some later on May 15.

Debenhams will offer up to 80 per cent off all fashion and home and up to 70 per cent off beauty and fragrance products.

A Debenhams spokesman said: “We are now heading into the final days of our closing down sale and this is the very last chance for our customers to take advantage of some incredible deals.

“With up to 80 per cent off across our remaining stores, customers are urged to shop now while stocks last.

“Over the next 10 days, Debenhams will close its doors on the high street for the final time in its 242-year history.

“Our sincere thanks go out to all of our colleagues and customers who have joined us on this journey.

“We hope to see you all one last time in stores before we say a final goodbye to the UK high street.”
