Frozen food supermarket Iceland has closed a number of stores in the last few weeks - and now, a further three are set to shut within the next two weeks.
The most recent branch to close was the White Rose Centre, in Rhyl, which shut on Tuesday, with the retail chain blaming the closure on a "continuous decline in business at the store”, the Mirror reports.
Stores also closed in February, including a Bromsgrove site and its Chineham Shopping Centre store in Basingstoke, but there has been no confirmation by the frozen food supermarket as to why these sites had to close.

Alissa Simon Film Critic Icelandic writer-director Hafsteinn Gunnar Sigurðsson (“Under the Tree”) makes a smooth transition to English-language directing with the high-concept comedy “Northern Comfort,” co-written with longtime collaborators Halldór Laxness Halldórsson and Tobias Munthe.

As a final challenge, the class is scheduled for a short, roundtrip “exposure” flight during which they should face and conquer their phobias. But this practical plan soon runs into some literal and figurative turbulence. Combining human drama and absurdist comedy, “Northern Comfort” should fly into other festivals before making a comfortable landing at a boutique art-house distributor or streamer.
