Three Peacocks stores in south Essex shutting down

4:16pm Wednesday 22nd February 2012 in Local News By Melissa Hills

Three Peacocks stores in south Essex are shutting down with the loss of 45 jobs.

The stores in Basildon, Grays and Lakeside will be closing imminently.

There will be 12 redundancies at Basildon, 12 at Grays and 21 at Lakeside.

Edinburgh Woollen Mill, which is one of the UK’s largest high street chains, has taken over the failing chain.

The deal struck has protected around 6,000 jobs in the UK.

Well demand for the Peacock was always going to wane with so many chicken shops opening up.

It would be a big loss to Rayleigh if Peacocks closes, it is a large retail unit and given the time it took to re-occupy Woolworths when it closed, Rayleigh would suffer if it were to go. And we really don't need any more hairdressers or takeaways thanks!

Good news for Rayleigh which is a nice shopping centre with nice people shopping, unlike Southend and Basildon which struggle on both issues.
