A CHESTER city centre outdoor gear store is to close its doors.

Mountain Warehouse, on Northgate Street, has put up 'Closing down – everything must go!' signage in its store entrance windows.

The Standard understands the store is due to close for good by the end of March.

The nearest Mountain Warehouse stores would then be the ones on the Broughton Shopping Park and McArthurGlen Cheshire oaks Designer Outlet.

Mountain Warehouse stock clothing and equipment for a wide range of activities, including cycling, hiking, walking, camping, festivals, horse riding and skiing.

The brand has over 180 stores nationwide.

Prior to becoming Mountain Warehouse, the Northgate Street building previously housed designer clothing store Gap.
