THE Original Factory Shop has launched another closing-down sale as the brand pulls the shutters on another store.
The discount department store has slashed the prices on everything, from clothing to gardening tools to toys.
FacebookThere are major sales throughout the store[/caption]
Clothing rails have been tagged with percentage-off signs as high as 30 percent off.
If you’re looking for something stylish this summer, TOFS in Cupar, Scotland, is packed with pretty dresses, linen pieces, and jeans.
There are also huge discounts across all footwear in the store – from trainers to heels.
Over in the men’s section, there is an abundance of polo shirts, gym vests, and t-shirts.
It’s worth stocking up on cleaning products and household essentials as they have a 10 percent reduction on the price.
For those sweet-toothed shoppers, there are plenty of deals across all confectionery.
Photos of the sale went on the Cupar store’s Facebook with the caption:
Up to 11 TOFS stores are already to set to close this month, including sites across Worcestershire, Durham and Cumbria .
Meanwhile, another five stores across Nairn, Market Drayton, Troon, Blairgowrie and Castle Douglas have been placed up for sale.
The Original Factory Shop has told The Sun that negotiations are ongoing with landlords – making it unclear whether these shops will remain open.
It comes as part of a major restructuring carried out by new owner Modella Capital with a number of loss making stores having to close as result.
Over June nine of these stores will close, including sites in Dorest and Durham.
Another site in Middlewich is also set to close however a date is yet to be confirmed.
You can see the full list of store closures here:
Milford Haven, Pembrokeshire – June 26

Heswall – TBC
The following stores are also up for sale:
Nairn
Market Drayton
Troon

Castle Douglas
Private equity firm Modella bought The Original Factory Shop back in February and has since launched a restructuring effort to renegotiate rents at 88 TOFS stores.
Modella is known for picking up struggling retailers, having also recently acquired Hobbycraft and WHSmith‘s high street shops.
At the end of April, Modella drew up plans to initiate a company voluntary arrangement (CVA) for TOFS.
Companies often use CVAs to prevent insolvency, which could otherwise result in store closures or the collapse of the entire business.
They allow firms to explore different strategies such as negotiating reduced rent rates with landlords.
TOFS previously told The Press and Journal that a “number of loss-making stores will have to close” as part of the restructuring.

NIGEL Farage swapped ballots for ballroom as he danced with former model Jodie Marsh at a fundraiser for her animal charity.
The Reform UK leader, 61, proved he was the life of the party during the bash at Quendon Hall in Essex last night.

BackGridThe pair both beamed as they posed and danced together at the bash[/caption]
Farage donned a dark-blue velvet suit for the event, while documentary maker Jodie opted for a stunning dark green gown.
The unlikely duo became the perfect dance partners during the charity ball, which she hosted to raise funds for her Fripps Farm Animal Sanctuary.
It was opened by Jodie in 2020 and she currently pays for the centre out of her own pocket.
The evening hoped to generate some extra income in aid of animal welfare and the sanctuary’s ongoing rescue work.
As well as the political heavyweight, several other guests of honour were in attendance at the bash.
Footage showed Spandau Ballet singer Tony Hadley performing at Friday night’s fundraiser.
Despite not being there in person, it is understood that Oasis star Noel Gallagher donated a guitar and two tickets to be auctioned for the event, which raised £6,000.
Posts on the Fripps Farm Instagram page showed Jodie shaving off one attendee’s hair to raise money for the charity.
Posing with both friends and family during the evening, she hailed them as “the best supporters to have”.
On the official website, Fripps Farm is described as a “loving home” to unwanted animals.
It says: “Owned by former model and documentary maker Jodie Marsh, Fripps Farm is currently home to over 250 animals, many of which have been saved from slaughter.
“Jodie gives a loving home to animals that are either unwanted or in danger of being put to sleep/slaughtered.
“With the correct nutrition, care and expertise Jodie has also brought sick or injured animals back from the brink of death.
“Followers of the farm can clearly see how loved the animals are and how special Jodie’s bond is with them.
“All animals welcome at Fripps Farm.”

1 day agoNew York StateComments Off on National inquiry into the grooming gangs scandal finally ordered by Keir Starmer in another Labour U-turn
Sir KEIR Starmer has performed another major U-turn and finally ordered national inquiry into the grooming gangs scandal.
The PM sparked national outcry after refusing to order the investigation into the sickening rapes of mainly white girls by Asian gangs.
GettyThousands of white girls were abused in grooming gang scandals across the country[/caption]
Instead, he allowed just five local probes into the abuse to go ahead.
But he has been forced into the humiliating about turn after a major audit into the scandal by Dame Louise Casey.
Her damning report is expected to say white girls targeted in the industrial scale abuse were “institutionally ignored for fear of racism”.
It will also link illegal migration with the horrific abuse.
The PM, speaking on his way to the G7 summit in Canada, said: “I have never said we should not look again at any issue.
“I have wanted to be assured that on the question of any inquiry.
“That’s why I asked Louise Casey who I hugely respect to do an audit.
“Her position when she started the audit was that there was not a real need for a national inquiry over and above what was going on.
“She has looked at the material she has looked at and she has come to the view that there should be a national inquiry on the basis of what she has seen.
“I have read every single word of her report and I am going to accept her recommendation.
“That is the right thing to do on the basis of what she has put in her audit.”
ReutersBritain’s Prime Minister Keir Starmer leaves 10 Downing Street[/caption]
Home Secretary Yvette Cooper will outline the findings of the report to MPs.
The PM‘s latest about-turn comes after he said earlier this year that establishing a new wider probe would delay justice for victims.
It comes just days after the PM U-turned on winter fuel allowance cuts – handing the benefit back to the overwhelming majority of pensioners.
The Tories and Reform UK have both been pushing for a national inquiry into the grooming gangs scandal.
Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch said: “I’ve been repeatedly calling for a full National Inquiry since January. It’s about time he recognised he made a mistake and apologise for six wasted months.
“But this must not be the end of the matter. There are many, many more questions that need answering to ensure this inquiry is done properly and quickly.
“Many survivors of the grooming gangs will be relieved that this is finally happening, but they need a resolution soon not in 10 years time.

BRITISH fighter jets are being deployed to the Middle East to protect British assets amid the spiralling Israel-Iran conflict, Sir Keir Starmer says.
The Prime Minister bolstered our military presence in the region after Tehran warned the UK that our bases and ships are at risk.
RAF jets will be deployed to the Middle East to protect British assetsIt comes after Iran’s ballistic missile strikes on Tel Aviv, picturedA building is hit by a missile in Tel Aviv, Israel, on June 13Sir Keir Starmer has decided to scramble British jets to the Middle East
The Prime Minister, on his way to the G7 summit in Canada, said: “I will always make the right decisions for the UK and our allies.
“We are moving assets to the region, including jets, and that is for contingency support in the region.
“I will be clear-eyed in relation to our duties and obligations and my duties as Prime Minister.”
Military capabilities such as further refuelling aircraft and additional fast jets will be deployed in the wake of the threat – adding to our presence there under Operation Shader.
The aircraft started their preparation for heading to the Middle East on Friday morning when Ministers realised the situation was rapidly deteriorating.
Israel vowed “Tehran will burn” after they were hit with four deadly waves of missiles aimed at the Israeli Defence Force (IDF) headquarters in Tel Aviv which have killed at least three people.
Sir Keir Starmer‘s intervention comes after a diplomatic blitz by telephone in the last 48 hours to the leaders of the US, Saudi Arabia and Israel, to calm tensions.
Speaking about his conversation with Donald Trump, the PM added: “I’ve obviously discussed that with President Trump yesterday, as you would expect, and what the possible routes to de-escalation are given the situation, we find ourselves in.
“I think there’s a widespread concern about escalation, everybody can see what’s going on and it can have on the region and beyond the region is obvious.”
The PM insisted he will be holding “intense negotiations” face-to-face with fellow leaders at the G7 on Sunday.
He refused to get into any detail on whether he knew about the Israel attack in advance.
He said: “We do have long standing concerns about the nuclear program Iran has.
“We do recognize Israel’s right to self-defence, but I’m absolutely clear that this needs to de-escalate.
He continued: “There is a huge risk of escalation for the region. More widely in terms of conflict, you can see the impact already on the economy and oil prices.
“And of course, all of this is linked to what’s going on in Gaza. So you can see why my strong position is this needs to de-escalate, and that is the primary focus of the discussions that I’ve been having and will continue to be.”
Foreign Secretary David Lammy had conversations with representatives from Iran, Jordan and Saudi Arabia as well as European foreign ministers on Friday.
Tensions between Israel, the US and Iran have ramped up in recent weeks, amid negotiations over the Iranian nuclear deal – which is aimed at stopping the country from developing nuclear weapons.
The Iranian ballistic missile strikes on Israel descended on the civilian population across the country and managed to severely damage some neighbourhoods in Tel Aviv.
The country’s defence minister Israel Katz said Iran “crossed red lines after it dared to attack the civilian population” and will now “pay a heavy price for it”.
He added: “If Khamenei continues to fire missiles at the Israeli home front, Tehran will burn.”
Russian President Vladimir Putin discussed the conflict between Israel and Iran, as well as efforts towards a Ukraine settlement in a phone call with US counterpart Donald Trump, Russian state media reported Saturday.
“The dangerous escalation in the Middle East was of course at the centre of the exchange,” the agencies cited the Kremlin as saying.
It added that Putin also informed Trump about the “implementation of the agreements reached at the meeting between the Russian and Ukrainian delegations in Istanbul on June 2”.

TAI WOFFINDEN struggled to hold back tears as he opened up on his recovery following his terrifying crash.
The five-time Speedway world champion was involved in a horror high-speed crash in Krosno, Poland, in late March which left him with 15 BROKEN BONES.

X formerly Twitter / @SpeedwayGPWoffinden then admitted he may need further surgery[/caption]
Having been airlifted to hospital, the British speedster spent days in a medically induced coma after having three lengthy major operations.
Woffinden, Britain’s greatest-ever rider, had a double compound right femur fracture, broken back, right humerus compound fracture, dislocated and smashed right elbow, 12 broken ribs, punctured lung, left broken shoulder blade and dislocated left shoulder.
He bravely fought back from his life-threatening injuries and is now walking as he continues his gruelling recovery plan.
But three months on, the 34-year-old was seen in attendance at this weekend’s British Speedway Grand Prix at Belle Vue in Manchester.
Woffy spoke to the Speedway Grand Prix account and lifted the lid on his journey back before admitting he may need to have further surgery as a result of his injuries.
Asked how he was feeling, he said: “Like a broken 80-year-old man.
“But look, the last seven weeks have been really tough – a lot of rehab, four-five hours a day Monday to Friday, you get the weekends off – now I’m back in the gym with Kirk in the UK.
“Was at the gym this morning and yesterday and we’re planning on staying here in England for a little bit longer and then focus on the gym work now rather than the rehab.
“I got another scan at the end of the month which will determine if I need a second operation on my arm – my right humerus.
“Fingers crossed I don’t, but if I do, I do and yeah we’ll just deal with it.”
Speaking about his recovery, he looked emotional as he recounted his ordeal.
He continued: “It’s a mindset, you know. At a young age I got my black belt in martial arts in Australia, the second youngest.
“And I transferred over to Speedway and then won my world championships.
“Everything I do I put 110 per cent into and rehab and recovering from broken bones I have the same mindset and we just get after it.”
Woffinden was then asked about his potential return to Speedway, to which he replied: “Is it too soon? Yeah.
“It was a tough one you know, I woke up from the coma and was like I’m done, I don’t want to deal with this again.
“And some days go by and I’m like, yeah I fancy having a ride, maybe not racing but maybe ride my bike again.
“It’s way too soon. I don’t know what my future has to hold and I’m just happy to be alive.”
Woffinden had been put into a medically-induced coma after suffering 15 broken bonesBut the Speedway icon is back walking months after the crash
He said: “I remember everything. In the race that I crashed I made a pretty decent start, so I blipped the throttle a little bit coming into the corner.
“The junior rider off gate one drove over the kerb, ran into the guy that was off gate two, who then collected me.
“As I got collected, as you normally do, you drop it on the side and slide towards the fence. And then while sliding across the track, my bike hit the APD (airfence) first, which lifted it up probably about a metre.
“And the moment I saw that lift, I just went, ‘oh f***’. And then I hit the fence, I heard my femur snap. It’s almost like if you’re underwater and you snap a tree branch.
“I then was laid on the track. I remember looking up and seeing everybody around me. The team manager’s face looked like he had seen a ghost.
“One person was crying looking at my body. My arms were pointing all in the wrong direction. My left shoulder was dislocated, pointing upwards.
“My right humerus was shattered at the bottom. My elbow was dislocated and my elbow was broken. I actually couldn’t see my hands when I was laying on the track because they were both pointing up.
“So I’m sat there saying, ‘give me some meds’. I was saying ‘bol, bol, bol’ which means pain in Polish just to make sure they knew what I was talking about.
“I don’t know if I passed out from the amount of Fentanyl they’d given me or the amount of blood that I’d lost.”

Another wrote: “Very well made does not bend like other types I have tried.”
June gardening jobs
The Sun's Gardening Editor, Veronica Lorraine, has shared the tasks you should take this month.
Stake out leggy perennials
With all the dramatic weather we’ve been having, it’s definitely time to stake out your leggy perennials (the ones that come back every year). Heavy rain and growth spurts, can make them collapse and flop.
Picking out the slugs and snails
Hopefully as we move into summer they will do less damage as the plants get bigger. The best way is still to go out at night with a head torch to find them.
Pick elderflower heads
You can use them to make your own cordial, or add to cakes, champagne or even fry them in batter.
Get on top of weeds
It’s around now that weeds really ramp up in the garden, so keep on top of them with hoe-ing – or just the traditional ‘on your knees with a hand fork’. Try and avoid chemicals – remember weeds are just plants in the wrong place.
Up the mowing
You’ll need to mow your lawn weekly now – if you’ve got time, weed it beforehand as once you mow you chop off the leaves and its harder to see them.
Check on your tomatoes
Your tomato plants will need attention – water, feed and regularly and pinch out the sideshoots.
Chelsea Chop
There’s still time for the Chelsea Chop – plants like Rudbeckia’s, Asters, Penstemons, Sedums and other perennials can be cut back by a third to help them get a bit more bushy, and prolong the flowering period.
Sort out your tulips
If you can be bothered and have space – lift and story your tulip bulbs to ensure colour next Spring.
Deadheading your roses
Take them down to the first set of healthy leaves – which will ensure more flowers for longer.
Enjoy your space
Take some time to sit and enjoy your garden or outside space – it’s great for your mental health. Even just a few minutes a day can make a big difference.
1 day agoNew York StateComments Off on Four ways to grow your own herbs and save buying at the supermarket
SUMMER is the perfect thyme to rustle up light dishes packed with fresh herbs.
Coriander, parsley and biggest seller basil are all in demand this season, so you might want to grow your own. Here’s how to keep them in mint condition.
Growing your own herbs can give you a headstart on rustling up a few tasty dishesGetty
TOP OF THE POTS: Bought potted herbs will likely need a health reboot.
As soon as you get them home, replant them in a bigger container.
Add some good quality compost. If you have some specifically for vegetables, that’s even better. Gently loosen the roots before planting so they have space to flourish.
SAGE ADVICE: When deciding where to place your potted herbs so they thrive, it’s wise to pick a semi-sunny spot.
They may not have been grown in natural sunlight, so putting them on a hot south-facing sill may be too much.
Find somewhere that gets sun, but isn’t too much of a hotspot.
Avoid draughts or radiators, and don’t group them too close together. They need space to grow.
WATER WISE: Herbs need regular watering but won’t welcome getting drenched.
It’s best to place those from a supermarket on a saucer or shallow dish and water when it runs dry.
The best-selling fresh herb, basil, should only be watered in the morning so it can dry out overnight. You should prune your herbs or use them regularly as this encourages them to grow.
FREEZY DOES IT: Freezing your herbs will mean you can use them for months to come.
Wash and dry them, then freeze the stems and leaves in a freezer bag.
Alternatively, snip the washed herbs into an ice cube tray before topping with water or oil. Then freeze.
You could also mix cut herbs and room-temperature butter. Freeze in an ice cube tray, then use in your cooking or to top meat, fish or vegetables.
