DEBENHAMS is set to reopen after lockdown for one final closing down sale before all of its England and Wales stores shut for good, it has been reported.
The department store chain told The Sun it would welcome customers back from Monday, April 12, to enjoy a whole host of cut-price items.
Online fashion retailer Boohoo bought the Debenhams brand and website for £55 million in January.

But, though this meant the 243-year-old Debenhams name could survive, all 118 remaining physical stores will still be closed permanently as they were not included in the deal.
All stores are currently shut under lockdown restrictions, with non-essential retail allowed to reopen from next week.
However, Debenhams told The Sun it would be reopening all of its stores from Monday, April 12, for a period of between three and five weeks to sell off excess stock.
There will be up to 70 per cent off fashion and home items, the national newspaper reported, as well as up to 50 per cent off beauty and fragrance stock.
The offers may vary from store to store, and when they are gone, they are gone.
When stock has been sold, the Debenhams stores will close their doors for the final time.
