Tylers Department Store to Close in 2027 | Leicester News

A century-old family business, Tylers Department Store in Loughborough, is closing its physical doors in January 2027 after losing its prime mall spot to a student housing developer. Despite decades of resilience through economic downturns and wars, the store’s future now hinges on a new deal: they’ll shutter operations in six months, transitioning to an online presence, while securing a spot in the developer’s reimagined town center. Employees, many with 40-year tenures, are heartbroken, but the company aims to honor them with as much notice as possible. The developer, eager to replace what they call an “eyesore,” believes student housing will revitalize the area — and Tylers may just find a new chapter in the heart of the town.
