Select Fashion is preparing to shut down 23 of its high street stores by this weekend. The struggling retailer has already closed 12 stores as part of a wider plan to close 35 sites in total by March 15.
This means that the remaining 23 stores are set to close their doors by this weekend. Once these closures have taken place, Select will be left with 48 stores. Over the past few years, the fashion chain has been steadily closing sites, including branches in Ipswich, Kent, Cwmbran and the Erith Riverside Shopping in London in 2024.
This follows Select’s collapse into administration in 2019 and its entry into a Company Voluntary Arrangement (CVA) last summer. A CVA is an agreement between a business and its creditors that allows debts to be paid off over a fixed period of time. The creditors must first approve the CVA before it can be implemented, reports the Mirror.
Before falling into administration in 2019, the fashion chain boasted a total of 169 stores. It was later bought out of administration by Genus UK Limited. Select first made its mark on the British fashion scene in the 1980s and is currently owned by Turkish entrepreneur Cafer Mahiroğlu.
However, Select isn’t the only retailer to have announced store closures in recent months.
Yours Clothing fans will be sad to hear that the fashion retailer is closing its Birmingham Bullring location on March 15. The next nearest store is located around 7.6 miles away in West Bromwich, or there is the Merry Hill branch which is 13.5 miles away. A notice in the store reads: “Sorry, we’re closing down. Our last day is Saturday 15th March. Your nearest stores are West Bromwich and Merry Hill but we’re always open at yoursclothing.co.uk.”
