The Isle of Wight branch of Sports Direct will be temporarily relocating, while its existing store undergoes a refurbishment.
Signs have gone up in the windows of the Newport-based store, confirming the closure.
But Isle of Wight Radio can confirm it is only temporary while it is updated inside.
The company will open for a short time at the former Ponden Homes site, just doors down.
A spokesperson for Sports Direct said:
"Sports Direct Newport, will be closing for a period of time whilst is undergoes a refurbishment. The store will be reopening Winter 21/22.
"During this time there will be a temporary store opening on South Street also."
