Sports Direct closes Cambridge store after sale

Sports Direct in Cambridge is closing today, April 18, 2025, after launching a closing down sale to clear out stock. The closure is part of a series of shutdowns for the retailer. The store, owned by Frasers Group, is shutting its doors due to pressures on the high street, with customers rushing to grab discounts. The company has not announced any plans for worker relocation or redundancies. This closure follows others, including a store in Coventry earlier this year, and reflects broader challenges facing retailers, such as online shopping and rising costs. Other stores are also closing.
