A Crewe town centre arts, books, crafts, gifts, stationery and toys chain store has closed down earlier than planned, after its stock ran out.

The Works, Victoria Street, permanently shut down on Saturday 23 September, six days earlier than planned.

This closure comes after the leading UK retailer relocated to a larger, 3,097 sq. ft, Grand Junction Retail Park store on Thursday 10 August.

The Works relocated to a larger Grand Junction Retail Park store on Thursday 10 August, with all Crewe town centre staff keeping their jobs (Ryan Parker).

All Crewe town centre team members have moved across to the new store, adjacent to PureGym, along with three new permanent members of staff. 

In August, a spokesperson for The Works told Nub News: "We love being a part of the Crewe community and are excited to be moving to a larger store at the Grand Junction Retail Park.

"This is a fantastic location for The Works just half a mile from the town centre and will provide our customers with easy access facilities such as free parking.

"From our new store we'll continue to provide customers with the same excellent value, as well as a much bigger range of products for reading, learning, creating and playing.
