Fashion and home furnishings retailer Next has announced plans to close its furniture and homeware store in Derry.

Situated at Crescent Link Retail Park, the Next Home store is expected to close on 1 February 2024 following the expiration of its lease.

The closure is set to impact around 25 jobs at the store, with some already being offered new positions at other shops.

Next said it is “actively working” with staff to relocate jobs to either its stores in Lisnagelvin or Foyleside.
