Typo, the popular stationery and gift shop located on the lower floor of The Mall at Cribbs Causeway off the M5, is set to close its doors. Current signage advertises a grand closing sale, with discounts up to 50% on select items including stationery, homeware, and tech accessories.
Although no official announcement has been made on Typo’s or its parent company Cotton On’s websites, the shopping centre has confirmed the closure. A representative from the mall commented, “Retail environments evolve, and we can confirm Typo will be leaving our line-up.” They also hinted at exciting upcoming changes, saying, “Cribbs Mall continues to attract national and international brands, and we look forward to announcing new arrivals soon.”
Typo, part of the Australian-based Cotton On Group, operates two locations in Bristol – one at Cribbs Causeway and another in Cabot Circus – alongside branches in Bath, Exeter, and other cities. Additionally, Typo products are available through retailers like ASOS and WHSmith.
