SHOPPERS described the “eerie” experience of shopping at an almost empty supermarket.
The shelves at the Co-op store in London Road, Brighton, were left bare as customers made the most of its closing down sale.
The store dramatically slashed its prices for its last day of trading on Saturday, with a selection of “last chance deals” and 50 per cent of all frozen items.
One shopper said: “It’s quite an odd experience, it feels really eerie.
“There is pretty much nothing left in the shop at all.
“It’s always sad to see a high street store shut.
“But I have managed to grab a few bargains before it shuts.”
Just hours after the store shut its doors for the final time workers came and prised the bright green Co-op branding from the front of the shop.
The supermarket is next door to a Boots store which closed on September 20.
Both shops are set to be turned into student accommodation.
