Atria Watford thanked a store for its "contribution" after it was named as one of a series of shops in the chain to have closed.

Toy Galaxy has reportedly sent a letter out to staff letting them know that it would be closing locations due to “financial pressures”.

All of the London stores now display as “temporarily closed” online, but the Watford branch currently does not display at all.

Today (August 14), an atria Watford spokesperson said: “Following the recent closure announcement, we can confirm that Toy Galaxy at atria Watford closed on July 19, 2024.

“Toy Galaxy has been a valued tenant and while we regret to see them go, we want to extend our thanks for their contribution to atria Watford.”

The chain of toy shops occupied an upper mall unit at the shopping centre, next to River Island.

Insolvency firm Edge Recovery has confirmed that there are pre-appointment talks for an administration process with the company.
