B&M is to shut another shop within hours in the latest blow to the high street.<\/p>\n

The bargain retailer is to close its store in English Street,\u00a0Cumbria, today and it has launched a huge closing down sale.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Shoppers have been rushing to take advantage of the\u00a0big discounts, with many saying they "need to go" and check it out themselves.<\/p>\n

But the store has now increased the discount on all of its items from 25% to 50%.<\/p>\n

A post on Facebook said: "B&M English street closing down sale is going to 50% off as from Friday, September 22."<\/p>\n

Fans of the discounter were quick to comment, with one saying they were "gutted" to learn that it was closing, while others were itching to get their hands on some\u00a0bargains.<\/p>\n

It's not the first time that B&M has hosted major discounts before closing down stores.<\/p>\n

When its Newport shop closed in Wales back in February, it hosted a\u00a0huge 75% off sale\u00a0before shutting its doors for good.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

There were similar discounts at a B&M store located in Rugby's Clock Towers Shopping Centre\u00a0when it closed in 2021.<\/p>\n

And before that shoppers from Slough benefitted from a similar price cut frenzy as a separate\u00a0closing down sale\u00a0took effect at a B&M store in the area.<\/p>\n
