M&Co Ripon store to close in nine days

Retailer M&Co is to close its branch on Fishergate in Ripon a week on Saturday.

The Scottish company, which sells clothes and homeware, went into administration for a second time in December.

Yours Clothing bought the website, brand and intellectual property but not the shops.

It means all 170 M&Co stores have either closed already or will do so shortly. About 1,900 staff are affected.

Remaining stores are offering up to 60% discounts.

Retail manager Shirelle Wallace-Hoyle posted on the Ripon M&Co’s Facebook page:

“The last day of trading for us will be Saturday 22nd April, when the last few store within the business will all close.

“We are literally one of a few of the the last stores standing till then.

“I would like to say a massive thank you to everyone who has supported the store since it opened in 1979. We have had so many lovely customers support us.”
