Home Store in Market Place is closing after only nine months, prompting shoppers and market traders to wish for a significant retail name to occupy the space. Many believe that without a notable brand, like John Lewis or The Range, the unit will struggle to attract customers as it did previously. Suggestions for alternative uses included a giant pub or an arcade space. While Home Store's furniture section will remain open, the current shop's lack of foot traffic has raised concerns regarding the future of the location.
Shoppers and market traders have expressed a desire for a major retail brand to take over the soon-to-close Home Store in Romford, citing the need for better customer draw.
Market traders emphasized the unit's struggles to attract customers and insisted that a well-known name, potentially a supermarket or a store like John Lewis, is vital for success.
