Bonmarché will be closing its Chatham store next year after the clothing retailer collapsed into administration back in October.
Future Chatham first reported the possibility of Bonmarché closing at the beginning of December, after it emerged that 30 "under-performing and unsustainable" stores were to shut as part of cost-cutting measures. At least 240 jobs nationwide are expected to be lost, however it has not yet been made clear how many will be lost at the Chatham branch. An exact date for the store's permanent closure also remains unclear. Bonmarché collapsed into administration during the middle of October this year, having issued a series of profit warnings during what continues to be a difficult trading environment for many retailers across the UK. It was earmarked that another clothing retailer, Peacocks, may potentially bid to rescue Bonmarché from administration. Future Chatham has contacted Bonmarché for further information, but was still awaiting a response at the time of writing. Comments are closed.
