Anyone looking for Clarks will have to go to another town or city.

Shoppers reported seeing staff clearing out the Kirkcaldy outlet over the last week.

Today the company said that they had decided not to renew the lease for the branch.

A Clarks spokesperson said: “At Clarks, we continually review all of our stores to ensure that they are the right size and located in the right areas in order to provide the best possible offering and environment to our customers.

“After careful consideration, we have decided not to renew the lease on our Kirkcaldy store, which will not re-open on June 15.

“Customers can continue to shop from our full range of products online and at our nearby stores in Dunfermline, Stirling and St Andrews.”
