The former Original Factory Shop at 81 Market Place in Melksham has been put on the market following the national retailer's collapse. The discount retailer entered administration on 28 January, and the Melksham branch closed for the final time on 22 March after 18 years of trading in the town.

The single-storey building provides around 10,700 sq ft of space and includes a private car park with approximately 20 spaces. Commercial property agents Carter Jonas is marketing the premises. Rental offers of £80,000 a year are being invited, whilst the building is also available to buy freehold, although no asking price has been published for a sale.

Agents have highlighted several other potential uses for the premises. The property is covered by Class E planning use, with suggestions that it could accommodate another large shop, indoor sports, medical purposes, a crèche or light industrial activity.
