KENDAL’S Homebase store is not included in a list of 42 outlets across the country identified by the DIY giant for potential closure.
The retailer is closing stores via a Company Voluntary Agreement (CVA), an insolvency procedure used by struggling firms to shut under-performing shops, putting 1,500 jobs at risk.
After a review, Homebase has concluded that its current store portfolio mix is no longer viable. Stores will close during late 2018 and early 2019.
