    The Link is closing down

    I just heard from a friend that the link is closing down?

    Does anyone know if this is true?

    I was relieved since I knew Santa wouldn’t lie to me ...

    One Link store here in Aberdeen is now O2, the other is a 3 store. They have been closing them gradually over the last few months.

    The Link is still going to exist online though. It just isn't going to have any stores.
