The site of a former discount department store is set for a new lease of life.
The Original Factory Shop in Ayton Road, Wymondham, which closed its doors on April 4, has remained vacant since the business went under.
The store closure came after administrators failed to find a buyer for the chain, resulting in the closure of all its 137 UK stores and the loss of most of its jobs.
Now, an offer has been put in for the premises from an unknown buyer through Peter Colby Commercials, which is currently marketing the retail space.
Tony Hodgson, senior commercial estate manager, said: "We are unable to confirm details of the proposed letting until the lease has been completed.
"At this time we will seek consent from the interested party for an agreed statement."
Administrators said The Original Factory Shop’s troubles were driven by challenging trading conditions, linked to high cost inflation, fragile consumer confidence and rising labour costs caused by government policies.
The former branch in Attleborough is now a Poundstretcher, while Dereham’s is believed to be becoming a Tapping House charity shop.
