Hey lovely people! 📢 Big news hits the High Street as Claire’s is set to close 145 of its UK stores. Five of those are right here in Wales, so prepare your nostalgia hearts, fashion fans. 💔 If you grew up loving Claire’s iconic accessories, the latest bargain news is a bittersweet moment. Although 156 stores have been saved thanks to a sale to Modella Capital, our Welsh favourites in Cardiff, Carmarthen, Cwmbran, Llantrisant, and Haverfordwest will be closing their doors for good. Swing by for some closing down sales, where ‘20% off everything’ is already making waves! 🛍️
This wave of changes follows Claire’s administration filing in August, which sought to safeguard the business’s long-term value. Natasha Harbinson and Will Wright from Interpath are overseeing this process, ensuring the stores that are closing remain open as long as possible while exploring future options. New owner Modella is stepping up as a major player in the UK retail sector, having already acquired WH Smith’s high street business and Hobbycraft, and is keen to keep Claire’s brand alive in most parts of the UK.
The closure dates for the affected Welsh stores vary, but make sure to take a nostalgic stroll and grab a keepsake before they vanish. If Claire’s was ever your go-to for accessories or gifts, this is your moment! Keep an eye out for promos and snag a piece of history before it disappears from our streets. ❤️🔥 #Claires #Wales #Shopping #RetailNews #ClosingDownSale
