A fashion retailer has closed ahead of opening a new store.

H&M are set to open a huge new store at Churchill Square, Brighton, in the spring.

The new store will open in the unit formerly home to Topshop and will feature H&M home products.

Until recently, H&M had a store in the cornet unit of the shopping centre, next to Zara, however boarding has appeared around the store confirming it has now shut.

The retailed currently still has another store inside Churchill Square, specifically selling children's clothes, as well as one on Western Road.

In November last year, a spokeswoman for H&M said: "The new H&M store in Churchill Square will be an exciting opportunity to reimagine the shopping experience for our Brighton customers.

"It will enable us to better serve the local community, strengthen our presence and deliver a more elevated and inspiring in-store experience.

"This flagship will be a key addition to our UK portfolio, in one of the country’s most vibrant retail destinations."

At the time, the spokeswoman added that the new store "may impact existing locations within Churchill Square" but plans could not be confirmed.

The Swedish brand was founded by Erling Persson, who opened his first store in 1947.

It has since grown into a retail empire, with more than 4,000 stores worldwide.
