A BUDGET shoe shop on a busy high street in Bournemouth looks set to close in the future.
Shoezone in Wimborne Road, Winton, has several signs at the front of the shop window saying ‘CLOSING DOWN’ but despite this the company cannot confirm if it will close or not.
We have contacted Shoezone multiple times over two weeks for answers, but they have refused to comment or confirm whether the shop is closing or when it will close.
Staff in the store remain in the dark about when the shop will close or whether they will be made redundant or relocated to the other stores in Boscombe and Poole.

Staff believe the shop could shut down in January over suspected issues with rent.
Shoezone will not comment on this, only saying: “Unfortunately, we are unable to comment.”
Shoezone has more than 410 stores across the UK, including one in Christchurch Road, Boscombe and one in High Street, Poole.
The Leicester-based company is known for selling low-cost shoes and, according to the company, sells roughly 16 million pairs a year.
Last year the company made headlines when finance director Peter Foot was replaced by Terry Boot.
