A well-known shoe chain in the UK is set to permanently close its Plymouth city centre location this weekend. Pavers, which operates 160 stores across the UK and Ireland, will shut its doors on Sunday, February 8, leaving local shoppers upset as they can benefit from a significant 50% off sale before the closure.
Closure Details and Sale Information
The final day to shop at the New George Street branch is fast approaching. In a notice posted at the storefront, the company reassured customers that while they will miss the city centre location, the nearest alternative is the Pavers store at Plymouth Barbican.
- Store Name: Pavers
- Location: Plymouth city centre, New George Street
- Last Day of Operation: February 8
- Sale Offer: 50% off everything in stock

Impact on the Community
The decision has left residents distressed, with many expressing their disappointment. One loyal customer remarked that it is yet another victim of the rise of online shopping, while others voiced concerns over the increasing number of store closures contributing to a potential ghost town scenario in the city centre.
Amid the closure news, Pavers is conducting a major clearance sale, urging shoppers with signs that state “everything must go.” The full implications for the employees of the Plymouth city centre store remain uncertain.
Company Background
Pavers has been in business since 1971, developing a reputation as a family-run operation focused on quality footwear. Despite the loss of this particular branch, the chain maintains its presence with over 160 locations across the UK and Ireland.
A spokesperson from Pavers confirmed that while they don’t provide formal comments on closures, they reassured customers that the Barbican store will remain operational.
