After months of being forced to close, non-essential shops across Cardiff are getting ready to reopen on April 12.
But after another tough lockdown, a number of favourites across Cardiff won't be there when restrictions are eased in the coming weeks.
Although plenty of staples remain, the high street as we once knew it won't quite look the same.
These are some of the big shops that have announced their closure since the lockdown was announced in December:
Debenhams
Probably the biggest blow to the city centre is the closure of Debenhams. The long-standing department store occupies one of the biggest spaces in the centre, and its closure will be felt when other stores reopen.
The 242-year-old department store chain first went into administration last April.
The chain announced in January that all of its stores will close after online fashion retailer Boohoo bought the Debenhams brand for £55 million and will relaunch as an online-only operation.
Debenhams was one of the anchor stores considered when developing the St David's Centre in 2007.

Topshop
In December the chain announced that its huge store in Cardiff city centre will not reopen after coronavirus lockdown restrictions are lifted.
It came after the brand's owner, Arcadia, fell into administration - putting more than 13,000 jobs at risk.
A spokesperson for Topshop confirmed that the store on Queen Street, will not reopen. The store also comprises of Topman and a Miss Selfridge concession - both also owned by Arcadia.
A Topshop concession was available in Debenhams, which has now also closed.
The company spokesperson said previously that the store was due to close at the beginning of February due to the lease on the building expiring but lockdown restrictions in Wales brought forward the closure.
Michael Kors
The Michael Kors store on the Hayes opened to huge excitement back in 2016.
The high-end fashion store was one of the big names to open in the St David's shopping centre.
It was located in the former H&M store on the Hayes, and stocked the brand's shoe collection, an extensive set of bags, purses and accessories.
But in February the store was pictured closed and gutted.
Flying Tiger
A popular vegan junk food chain revealed plans to replace the Flying Tiger store on Wellfield Road in Roath.
Oowee Vegan has submitted a planning application to Cardiff council to replace the once popular store.
The application is a change of use from retail to restaurant meaning the most recent tenant of the unit, Flying Tiger, is set to close.
