A CLOTHES shop is set to close down in a Basingstoke shopping centre and could be replaced by a homeware retailer.
Festival Place has confirmed that Jack Wills is leaving the centre in “the next few weeks”.
A statement from the shopping centre said: “We understand that people will be disappointed and we are sad to see them leave."
However, it added that it is in “advanced talks” with another “well-loved brand” - Miniso - which it is hoping will open in the centre.
