'We will not be closing again' -store reopens after its week-long unexpected closure
A shop in Bolton has re-opened after being closed for a week, only two weeks after opening. Ideal Home and Food Hall bosses say the store closed in order to implement suggestions from customers. Adam Ali from the store, which is based on Deansgate, said the main reason for the week-long closure was "re-merchandising". He explained that too many similar products were being placed close together in the store, as customers complained everything was too spread out.

The downstairs section remains closed today, but will apparently be opening, according to Mr Ali, on August 14, or a few days after at the latest. "No, we won't be closing again," Mr Ali said after being asked if anymore closures were imminent. The week-long closure wasn't the first bump in the road for the new store. (Image: NQ) On its opening day on July 18, the lower floor was expected to be operational, but was instead blocked off. The business wants to to breathe new life into the town's high street, which has been hit hard in recent years by the loss of high profile names like Marks & Spencer. The store announced they are offering five per cent off food shopping for university students, old-age pensioners and disabled people, NHS staff, police officers and firefighters. The company also has plans to set up other stores in Edinburgh and Darlington, they reported back in July. Ideal Home & Food Hall opened in the space once occupied by Wilko and then Poundland in Deansgate. Bosses say that the store prides itself on the personal touch with no self-checkouts.
