MYSTERY surrounds the future of the two Mothercare stores in Gwent.
It is still unclear if the retailer will close its stores on Commercial Street in Newport, and in Cwmbran.
Mothercare said it will be closing 111 UK stores over the next three years, which will affect 730 jobs.
The mothers-to-be, babies and children’s group revealed plans to cut the number of stores in the UK from 311 to 200, which will include 36 Mothercare sites and 75 Early Learning Centres.
Mothercare has already closed 62 stores, three Mothercare outlets and 59 Early Learning Centres.
A spokeswoman for Mothercare said yesterday it would not be announcing the location of the 111 stores which will close as they will close progressively over three ears depending on leases and other factors.
