Asda update on future of Fleetwood's Cop Lane megastore amid closure rumours on social media
Everything you need to know.
Rumours that the town’s Asda store is closing are causing a stir in Fleetwood.
Social media posts by shoppers that show completely empty shelves had people questioning the store’s future.
In one post that showed the gaming aisle completely devoid of stock said: ‘Can’t believe Asda Fleetwood is shutting down, everything must go.’
People were shocked to read it and whilst some were concerned, others clearly rubbished the claims saying it was more likely to be a stock change or store re-organisation.
The Gazette reached out to the Fleetwood store, on Dock Street, directly and to the supermarket’s central press team, with a spokesperson saying in a statement: “I can confirm there are no plans to close the store.”
The store is one of two major supermarket chains in Fleetwood and opened in 2006.
It was launched as part of a major nationwide expansion by the supermarket group that created thousands of new jobs.
