Smiggle is closing its Redditch store Feb. 22, 2026, as part of a broader UK retail decline driven by rising costs and changing shopping habits.
Smiggle is closing its Redditch store on February 22, 2026, after launching a 70% closing-down sale, part of a broader decline in the UK retail sector.
The Australian-founded brand, which opened in the UK in 2014, now operates 94 stores compared to over 130 at its peak, with recent closures in Dundee, Shrewsbury, and Cwmbran.
Rising costs, including rents, energy, and staffing, are driving the trend, as are shifting consumer habits.
Over 17,000 UK retail locations are projected to close in 2025, prompting concern over the future of high streets and community access to stores.
