Saturday is the last days shoppers can visit Joules fashion outlet in Petersfield Square as it closes that evening.

The news comes after Joules announced in December it was to shut 19 of it’s 124 stores and cut 133 jobs.

This was announced after the struggling chain was bought by retail rival Next and founder Tom Joule.

The Petersfield branch of the fashion chain specialising in colourful, British-designed casual wear for men, women and children survived that first round of closures, that saw the Chichester Joules shut.

But the Petersfield branch is to close too.

A Joules spokesman said: “This (Petersfield) store is closing, the last day to shop in store will be Saturday, January 28.”
