Wiltshire town centres saw closures of iconic stores and banks in 2025, but new chains and independents brought signs of renewal.
2025 saw Wiltshire’s town centres undergo major changes, with closures of long-standing retailers, banks, and hospitality venues, including Wilko units, NatWest, Halifax, Rick Stein’s, and Knees after 146 years.
New national chains like Dunelm and One Beyond opened in Trowbridge, while Chippenham and Devizes saw new independents and repurposed spaces, including a coffee shop in the former Burton store.
Despite ongoing vacancies, revitalization efforts and new openings offered signs of resilience amid shifting retail dynamics.
