THE Littlewoods store in Bury's Mill Gate centre is to close this weekend with the loss of around 22 jobs.
The shop, which for the past 26 years has been trading in The Mall, will shut for good on Saturday.
The Bury store was one of 119 shops sold by Littlewoods to Associated British Foods (ABF) in July for £409 million.
At the time, ABF said 41 of the shops would be kept and expanded into its Primark fashion retail business. But Bury has not been selected as one of the sites.
Meanwhile, past and present Littlewoods staff at Bury, together with their partners, are being invited to attend a get-together at Bury FC's social club on Saturday, January 21.
The event will include entertainment and refreshments.
Those wishing to attend are asked to contact Debbie Sanderson at the store on 0161 764 8124.
