A major high street retailer has closed several branches this weekend after falling into administration, with many set to follow suit in the near future. M&Co, which has 170 stores nationwide, are bidding farewell to high street shoppers and some shops have already confirmed their closing dates.

Previously called Mackay’s, the retailer fell into administration for the second time in two years in December. The business was put up for sale with an auction deadline for interested buyers by administrators at Teneo Financial Advisory.

Although its brand and intellectual property was sold to another major clothing retailer, Yours Clothing, the stores weren’t acquired and are set to close, resulting in the permanent closure of hundreds of stores across the country and the layoff of 1,910 staff.

M&Co previously said their stores would trade until Easter, and then begin the close down process via stock clearance. But some stores have shut their doors for good earlier than others on Saturday (April 1). These are:

Lewes
Gosport
Belper
Beccles
Newquay
Lerwick

This is an addition to a number of stores that have already closed including M&Co’s branches in Wick and Fort William. Teneo said further stores will begin to vanish from the high street as store stock dries up.

M&Co has been conducting a massive 30 to 60% off closing down sale online and in stores for the past few weeks in an effort to sell remaining stock. You can find the M&Co store closest to you by visiting the retailer’s website and using the store locator tool.
