An off-license retailer has said it is "purely coincidence" three of its stores have recently closed down in Crewe, with one shutting this December.

Bargain Booze, Kings Drive, Wistaston, closed its doors for good on Friday 15 December, with the shop fully cleared out the day after.

This closure comes after Bargain Booze closed its Gresty Road and Hungerford Road stores earlier this year.

Bargain Booze's Hungerford Store closed due to 'continuing underperformance' (Google).

Bargain Booze has since confirmed the three stores, which were run by independent retailers under franchisee agreements, had closed recently for different reasons. 

The closure of the Gresty Road outlet has been confirmed as due to 'the retirement of the retailer.'

Company-owned stores on Hungerford Road and Kings Drive, are both confirmed as being due to 'continuing underperformance.'
