Signs advertising the shop's 20% off all full priced items have been posted around site. The store will remain open and operating as usual until it's closed, although no exact date has been given yet. It will eventually be replaced this autumn with a all-new Frasers, Sports Direct's owner, department store consisting of all the big name brands. These include Frasers, Sports Direct, Evans Cycles and Game. The area will also be getting its own Flannels store in the same building but not within the same department store. The new department store will be located within the former Debenhams site inside the Houndshill Shopping Centre. A spokesperson for Sports Direct said: "We are excited to be bringing the vacant Debenhams unit in Houndshill Shopping Centre back to use, providing Blackpool customers with larger, elevated stores from the Group's ecosystem, and access to more of the world's most aspirational brands. "The current Sports Direct Blackpool store will relocate to a new 35,000 sq. ft Sports Direct store that will offer the world's best sport and lifestyle brands, and feature both a Game and Evans Cycle. "We will also open our luxury retailer, a 10,000 sq. ft Flannels store, alongside a 20,000 sq. ft new concept Frasers' store, in the space. "The stores will open later this year and mark an exciting time for the Group as we continue to expand our store portfolio across the UK and Europe." It comes after two further closing down sales were launched ea){kind=link}
