In a statement to the Manchester Evening News, a spokesperson for the Trafford Palazzo said: “We can confirm that Homesense has closed its branch here at Trafford Palazzo.

“The decision was one made by Homesense’s head office as part of their regional strategy, and we wish their store team all the best for the future.

“We appreciate the news is disappointing, but our customers can still head to Primark to shop their favourite home wear items.

“Our focus now is to continue to build on Trafford Palazzo’s growing reputation as a destination of choice for everyday entertainment and leisure, which we can see through our very popular recent additions of King Pins and Nerf AX, and the announcement of Archie’s Atomic which will be opening soon.”
