"We are really enjoying being in the city," a spokesman said at the time."It's only just opened," Sheena Arnott, 57, of nearby Sedgley, said.It's back to shopping at the Merry Hill centre for Sheena Arnott
With BHS also closing down there is not much left in the city, she said she will now travel to the Merry Hill shopping centre in Dudley."I've shopped [at a Debenhams] since I was a little girl, wherever I've lived I've shopped [there] - it would break my heart if this one closes," said Beverley Franklin, 62,
"I live in Wolverhampton, I would have to take the Metro to Birmingham and that's no good for me as a disabled person," she said, adding she does not shop online."I go to others, they are cheaper and pretty much the same as what you get at Debenhams," the tanning salon owner said.Image caption"When I shop in Debenhams, which I've done recently, I find there's a lack of stock," he said.
"Debenhams will be a particular loss to Wolverhampton after only opening a couple of years ago. My thoughts are with the staff affected.""Closure will be a big blow to the city and especially the people who work there. It is a great store and I shop there regularly with my family," she said.Isobel Woods, Wolverhampton council's head of enterprise, said the announcement highlighted changes in the way people shop.
The council and Mander Centre owners Benson Elliott will be exploring"alternative scenarios" and staff would be supported, she said.Ms Woods added the city had recently welcomed H&M, New Look, B&M and Matalan stores.
