The Crosspool branch of World of Wine/Bargain Booze ceased trading last weekend after nearly three years in the precinct.

It opened as usual on Saturday 31 August but was cleared out by Sunday morning on 1 September.

The off license opened in September 2010 following the closure of Oddbins in the same unit.

This leaves two shop units currently empty in the precinct, with Co-op Travel also shutting its Crosspool branch last month.

After being empty for nearly two years, the shop previously known as Oddbins is due to reopen its doors early next week selling wine and beer under the name World of Wine. It is believed that the new owner currently runs other off licences in the city.
