SHOPPERS are being warned they will not be able to use certain gift cards for a Lakeside store.

The Punkyfish store went into administration in January, but after a buyout by Kool Kool Limited it carried on trading on February 6.

However, cards bought before the shop went into adminstration are no longer valid.

A spokesman for Kool Kool, trading as Punkyfish at Lakeside, said: “Administrators took everything from the previous owners.”
