YET ANOTHER high street brand is set to leave the city.
Contemporary furniture store Heal’s is to close its Brighton store after 15 years of trading.
The landlord of the building has chosen not to renew the Heal's tenancy, as the lease has come to an end, the shop said.
The store in Duke Street will shut for good in April.
The announcement was made via Heal’s website, which also mentioned that new locations will soon open.
Canterbury and York are set to welcome stores soon, but it is not clear whether a new site will open on the south coast.

Heal’s Brighton is spread across five floors. It is one of seven stores in the chain – one of three outside London.
It is the latest shop set for closure, following Magazine Brighton in Trafalgar Street announcing similar intentions in February.
The Argus has contacted Brighton and Hove city council for comment.
The statement reads: "Sadly we are soon to be closing our Brighton Store, visit us on Duke Street until April to shop our large range of clearance pieces up to 50% off. We will be opening new locations soon, follow us on social media for updates."
