Entire contents of Doncaster House of Fraser store put up for auction ahead of closure

Earlier this month, bosses confirmed the Baxter Gate store, which has been operating as an outlet store for a number of years, will finally close its doors, more than six years after first being earmarked for closure.

Shop fittings, racking, shelving and furniture are all up for grabs as the firm puts everything under the hammer.

The store had previously been given a stay of execution, operating as an Outlet Store over the past few years, selling a wide array of items at discounted prices.

But bosses have now said the store will shut its doors for good in the coming weeks – and comes just weeks after neighbouring Marks and Spencer confirmed it will be closing its city centre store in 2025.

A spokesperson for Frasers Group commented “It is with regret that we announce House of Fraser Doncaster will be closing in spring.

"We would like to take this opportunity to thank our staff for their hard work and dedication.

"Where possible, we are committed to finding new roles within the group for staff.”

In February 2020, the Baxtergate store was due to shut its doors for good but the company gave it a stay of execution, operating as a discount store.

In 2018, the store, formerly known as Binns, was one of dozens of House of Fraser outlets earmarked for closure after the firm ran into financial difficulties.

The chain was then taken over by retail magnate Mike Ashley and was given a reprieve with jobs and the store saved.

The Doncaster branch opened in the mid-70s on the site of the former Owen and Owen store and was best known as Binns.

The store neighbours the Doncaster city centre branch of Marks and Spencer, which last month confirmed that it would be closing its branch and transferring trade to a newly expanded site on Wheatley Hall Road.
