ICELAND is set to close down two major branches this summer - including one store in Scotland.
The major supermarket with 900 sites across the UK will shut down its Inverness location.
The frozen food firm confirmed plans to close the Rose Street store on July 12.
Another store in Margate, Kent, will also shut down on June 21.
In a statement, Iceland said staff at both sites have entered a "consultation process and will be offered opportunities at surrounding stores where possible".
It's impending closure means that there will no longer be an Iceland in the city.

The company has a Food Warehouse store on Telford Street.
The branch is a larger warehouse-style store which opened in November 2022.
The closest Iceland store for Inverness locals after the closure will be in Aberdeen.
Locals were left gutted by the news last week, and many have flocked to social media to share their disappointment.

One person said: "Shame, Iceland is in such a good location, not everyone can get to Telford Street."
Another added: "Inverness is becoming a tourist city. We who live here don't count".
Someone else wrote: "That's a shame, that is a very handy wee store for people in town and to the east of Inverness".
Many also complained about the parking operator on the grounds of which the store is situated, with several receiving fines and charges.
One shopper said: "Too stressful to park here so not choosing to shop there."
A spokesperson for Iceland previously said: “We can confirm our Iceland store located at Rose Street, Inverness, is scheduled to close on 12th July 2025.
“Our store colleagues will enter into a consultation process and will be offered opportunities at surrounding stores where possible.
“Shoppers can visit our local Food Warehouse store in Inverness, located on Telford Street.”
The latest closures means Iceland has shut more than 20 stores since the start of 2023.
