Iceland Confirms Closures of Margate and Inverness Stores in Strategic Shift

The frozen-food retailer will shutter two branches in June and July 2025 as part of its focus on larger Food Warehouse locations, with staff consultations and reassignment options underway.

Overview

  • Iceland's Margate store will close on June 21, 2025, after a decade of operation at College Square.
  • The Inverness city centre branch, located at Rose Street Retail Park, is set to close on July 12, 2025.
  • Staff at both locations are undergoing consultation processes and have been offered opportunities at nearby stores where possible.
  • The closures align with Iceland's broader strategy to expand its larger-format Food Warehouse outlets, including a site in Telford opened in November 2022.
  • To encourage footfall, Iceland has introduced a 10% student discount available in-store every Wednesday throughout May 2025.
