Iceland has shut a string of stores this year and three more have reportedly been flagged for closure.

The popular chain announced earlier this year that it was to shut down several of its sites.

The frozen food retailer has announced that its store on Cowdenbeath High Street store in Fife will shut its doors for good at 7pm on Saturday, August 12.

More closures are to come in September with the chain's store in Market Shopping Centre in Crewe set to go on Saturday, September 16 at 6pm.

One of Iceland's Llanelli stores is also reported to be shutting its doors on Saturday, September 2 - however, it has not yet been confirmed which one of the two Iceland stores in Llanelli is set to go.

Iceland has closed over one dozen stores across the UK so far this year.

Today's closures take the total number of sites gone to 17.

Most recently the chain announced closures of its stores in Birkenhead and Swansea.

In a statement about the closures this year, an Iceland spokesperson previously told the Mirror: "Across Iceland and The Food Warehouse we have a portfolio of over UK 1,000 stores, and our retail estate has grown by nearly 200 stores over the last ten years.

"We typically open more than 20 new stores each year, creating many new jobs and contributing to the growth of local economies.

"At the same time, we continually review the retail experience offered to our customers and have always made a small number of store closures every year, as local shopping patterns change and shop leases expire.

Iceland has more than 800 branches and 153 Food Warehouse stores across the UK, and last year opened 24 new branches.
