Discounts are being offered on stock at the town centre shop.
Kilmarnock has been dealt another huge high street blow after Poundstretcher announced plans to close in the town.
The discount retailer is set to pull out of the town centre venue a little over two years since it opened.
Signs in the shop window confirmed the closure with 20 per cent being offered on stock.
The sign reads: “Store closing – 20 per cent off”.
When the Fowlds Street discount store officially opened in April 2021 it created 15 full and part-time jobs.
The huge 36,759 sq ft mega store was an eyesore in the town after Wilko pulled out of the town in 2018.
Ayrshire Cancer Support then had the premises after moving in on June 2019.
In February 2020, the prime commercial space was put up for auction with a guide price of £665,000.
Previously a Tesco store, the huge shop was once sold in 2010 for £2.34 million, according to Future Property Auctions.
Poundstretcher opened its town centre store in 2021 while its unit at Glencairn Retail Park was still operating, promising customers the retail park store would continue to trade, but it closed to make way for a supersized B&M store which opened in February this year.
