Two UK retailers, Claire's and The Original Factory Shop, collapsed in early 2025, threatening nearly 2,500 jobs and 294 stores.
Two major UK retailers, Claire's and The Original Factory Shop, entered administration in early 2025, threatening nearly 2,500 jobs and 294 stores.
The collapse follows financial struggles after Claire's US parent filed for bankruptcy, despite a prior rescue that saved 156 stores and 1,000 jobs.
Modella Capital, which owns both chains, cited poor Christmas sales and weak consumer demand as key factors.
The developments reflect ongoing challenges in the UK retail sector, including shifting shopping habits, inflation, and rising costs, even as supermarkets saw growth.
