Popular fashion boutique in Tullamore is closing down

A popular clothing store in Tullamore is set to close in the coming weeks.

22 Trendz is to close its doors in the coming weeks in Tullamore.

The women's clothing store was located on William Street and carried a wide range of fashion. It was run by Natasha Griffith who had more than two decades of experience in fashion retail, business.

A notice in the window in recent days reads: ''It is with deep sadness that I must let you know we will be closing 22 Trendz in the coming weeks.

"I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you who have supported us. It has been a great pleasure getting to know so many new people. I will be selling off our current autumn/winter stock at a reduced price so please pop in and grab a bargain. Thanks again Natasha and team.''

Many have been expressing their disappointment at the closure. One person said ''there won't be any clothes shops left open at this rate.''

Another said,''so sorry to hear this, loved your video and fashion style always got something when instore, you will be missed. Best wishes for your future.''

22 Trendz took over the former Texas store which had reopened after 13 years in 2020.

The Texas store at one time was the most popular shop in the Midlands with people travelling far and wide to pick up bargains. However, with the onset of Covid and the popularity of online shopping plus people travelling further afield for shopping it never hit the heights it had in its hayday.

22 Trendz was also very  popular but many say its location may have be a factor in its closure. People will be sad to see it go from William Street.
