The high street retailer says it is looking for 'alternative roles' for staff as stores shut their doors for good
High street giant New Look has announced it is closing several stores across the UK. The fashion retailer has been a firm favourite on the high street for years, and it's a devastating blow for shoppers.Three of the site closures were down to the landlord wanting to take the retail space back. Of the sites to be closing, four shut up shop in January and three are closing in February.
The locations of the sites affected include Birmingham, Coventry, Trowbridge, Kirkcaldy, Walthamstow and Northampton. A New Look spokesperson told Birmingham Live: “Regrettably, our New Look store in Coventry's Arena Shopping Park is closing following the landlord's request to take the property back and exit the lease early.
Full list of the locations and dates they'll be shutting their doors: Last month, the high-street retailer announced it was expanding its partnership with second-hand clothing website Re-Fashion by launching six new in-store concessions across the UK. From the end of January, New Look opened Re-Fashion concessions within its Coventry, Nottingham, Peterborough, Leicester, Loughborough and Wolverhampton stores.
As of March 2022, New Look said it had 440 stores in the UK and the Republic of Ireland. On its website, the retailer says it has over 10,000 team members.
