Superdrug the latest Kirkcaldy closure
Superdrug did not say why it was closing the Kirkcaldy store.
It is another retail blow for the Lang Toun, which saw its New Look store forced to shut down ‘for the greater good’ last week.
The landlord of the New Look unit is Tahir Ali. He is also the man leading plans to demolish the Postings Shopping Centre for a £50m residential development.
He said it was necessary to close the shop to facilitate his plans.
Meanwhile, a pub in the town – The Wheatsheaf Inn – closed recently.
It is up for sale, as are Betty Nicols and Heritage Bar, with the owners of both premises planning to retire . Both of thsoe venues remain open.
