End of an Era: Hanley Iceland Shuts This Saturday
25 Apr
Summary
- Iceland's Hanley store will close permanently this Saturday.
- The closure is part of the £20 million Etruscan Square redevelopment.
- Affected staff will be offered alternative roles at other Iceland stores.
A long-running Iceland store in Hanley will cease operations this Saturday, April 25, 2026. The closure is necessitated by the £20 million Etruscan Square development, a significant urban regeneration project by Stoke-on-Trent City Council. Iceland Food Ltd will vacate its Charles Street premises as part of phase one of this ambitious plan.
The redevelopment aims to transform Hanley into a vibrant hub for living, working, shopping, and tourism by 2050. Local residents have expressed surprise and concern over the store's closure, with some noting its convenience for shoppers, especially those near the bus station. The council assures that all affected employees will be offered alternative employment within Iceland's other branches.
