Reading’s Clas Ohlson store is set to close down.
The Broad Street shop has launched a 30 per cent off sale to get rid of its stock before its late-summer closure.
A store employee confirmed the retailer would be leaving Reading at the end of August.
The closure marks the end of the homeware and hardware brand’s presence on the UK high street.

Clas Ohlson’s Reading store was the last-standing physical shop after all of its other outlets closed in 2018 and 2019.
Its aim was to continue operating online, but the brand’s UK website subsequently closed too.
Now, Clas Ohlson products can only be purchased in the UK from the brand’s page on Amazon.
The Swedish firm continues to operate in Nordic countries.
