A POPULAR high street fashion chain has suddenly shut a city centre store leaving shoppers dismayed.
Yours Clothing, known for its plus-size fashion range, has been emptied with the signs of its Norwich outlet savagely ripped off after closing at the end of last week.

The brand still has over 100 outlets nationwide.
The St Stephens street store, stripped of its former iconic pink heart branding, is a shadow of its former self.
Replacing the Yours iconic logos and mannequins in frilly frocks are new posters reading: “For Sale! Store fixtures and equipment.
“Please ask in store for details.”
The closure of yet another high street outlet comes just weeks after Wilko and the former Poundland shuttered their windows.
Empty stores now dominate the high street.
Zoe London was devastated writing on social media: “Why??? Now there is no reason for me to go in the city anymore, its the only shop in Norwich that do jeans that fit me.
“That’s it, Norwich has gone downhill.
“I got my Mum a Yours voucher, what am I going to do now?”
The closest Yours is in Great Yarmouth, which is an inconvenient 38-minute drive away.
Michelle Egan wrote: “Let’s hope they find another shop that’s the only place I like and I won’t be setting foot in Great Yarmouth.”
However, the site might not be open for long, as the London fast food chain, Pepe’s Piri Piri, has applied for planning permission to nab the spot.
They plans were submitted to Norwich City Council earlier this year and include designs for new signage, a fancy new shopfront and extraction canopy.
The council will make the decision imminently on May 8.
But locals weren’t too enthusiastic about the prospect of another fast food joint.
Katheryn Shelsher argued: “We have 3 cafes we don’t need anymore.
Terri Browne lamented: “Another one!!”
Teresa Mulligan chimed in, saying: “Like we need another fast food place!”
