Newport's Mountain Warehouse is not shutting its doors permanently, despite reports suggesting it was.

The retailer says not only is it staying open, but it also has plans to move to a larger unit.

Mountain Warehouse has a store in both Newport High Street and Ryde High Street.

Reports had suggested the Newport branch was shutting permanently, but the firm insists the Isle of Wight remains a key location:

“The Isle of Wight is a key location for us, and we are proud to have a presence on the Island.

"We will be re-opening both of our stores there (Ryde and Newport), but it’s likely we’ll be relocating to a much bigger unit in the Newport area later in the year."

Speculation about the store's future was rife after a 'to let' sign was put up outside.

The building's also been listed to rent on Rightmove.
