Shoezone, known for its affordable footwear, will close its store in East Ayrshire, Scotland, as part of a wider trend of high street closures. The brand plans to transition towards larger format stores, leaving the future of smaller shopping malls like Burns Mall in Kilmarnock uncertain. Concerns arise as less than half of the mall’s units are currently occupied, and the mall’s recent sale listing raises questions about the viability of retail in the area.
