It is understood that up to 26 jobs are at risk, amid suggestions on social media that redundancy letters have been sent out in the weeks leading up to Christmas. Next did not respond to that suggestion.

Next Home sells furniture, homeware and household gifts. It opened at the retail park in October 2011.

The Scarborough Next store in the Brunswick shopping centre is currently unaffected by the announcement.

Earlier this month, Next rescued clothing chain Joules from administration as part of a £34m deal, saving 100 stores and 1,450 jobs.
