M&Co Shops in Bridlington and Whitby to Close

Monday, 6 February 2023 16:18

By Matthew Pells

The company is closing all of it's 170 stores in the spring.

The clothing brand has been bought out of administration, but the deal doesn't include its stores, website or staff.

It's got around 170 branches across the UK.

In a social media post the Bridlington store said:

"Unfortunately we haven't received the news we would have hoped for during our administration period, and would like to share this news with you-

As we haven't received any funded, deliverable offers that would result in the transfer of the Company's stores or staff to a potential buyer, this means that all of our stores will close.

The M&Co 'Brand' has been purchased, but unfortunately this does not include a future for our stores, website or staff. We will trade potentially until Easter, and then begin the close down process. We will update you closer to the time, of our actual closing date.

We hope you will appreciate this is also a very difficult time for staff working in the stores and we ask for respect and understanding when raising an issue. We thank you all for your continuous support, and we hope to see you all over the next couple of months.

Love, Team M&Co Bridlington"

The company has appointed administrators late last year. It was the second time the company had suffered financial difficulties after previously collapsing in 2020.

AK Retail Holdings have brought the brand from the administrators but the deal doesn't include the high street stores which are expected to close around Easter.
