Major clothing brand with dozens of British stores announces the closure of the Hoofdstraat to appoint customers

A popular clothing brand with 60 branches in the United Kingdom has announced that it will close another store for the removal of customers.

Regatta, who sells outdoor clothing and equipment, closes a store in Dundee, Scotland – just over two years after the big opening in the city.

The announcement is the newest blow for the British High Street and after a number of retailers, including Sports Direct, JD Sports, New Look and WHSmith, also announced closures.

A ‘closure sale’ recently appeared at the entrance of the Regatta Outlet in Dundee’s Overgate Center – where the brand only took over the space of Oasis in 2022.

Since then, customers have shared their disappointment about the loss of the store on social media.

One person wrote: “There will not be anything else left here.”

“Many more units will close soon,” added another.

In February last year, Regatta, one of the go-to brands for all things outside, also a shop in Chatham, Kent.

The brand said at the time that it did not take this decision ‘light’, but it came from declining customer visits to the store.

It comes after it was revealed in January that WH Smith was in conversation to sell his entire High Street activities in Great -Britain after 233 years.

Wh Smith, that sells stationery, books and is home to many British post offices, has round 500 stores in Britain and has 5,000 people throughout the country.

It is currently ready to close 17 of his branches in the coming months, after a further series of closures last year.

In the past ten years, the sale of the company has fallen from £ 684 million to £ 452 million.

The company of the company – which consists of around 1,200 stores worldwide – generates 85 percent of its profit.

In the meantime, JD Sports has announced this week that it will close 50 stores next year.

Select Fashion announced in February that it would close 35 of its stores, all located outside of London (stock photo)

The popular sportswear brand, which has 4,850 branches worldwide, with 412 in the UK, is planned for a restructuring next financial year.

About 150 new stores are opened, while around 100 will be converted or moved, according to a three -month report that was published earlier this month.

The company anticipates ‘volatile’ trade conditions in the coming year, after a ‘challenging market’ at the end of this financial year.

But it will achieve this year’s objectives for profit and sale, despite the fact that shares in the company fell in recent weeks, De Sun reported.

In addition, Select Fashion announced in February that it would close 35 of its stores, all located outside of London.

Shops in villages and towns in the UK closed by the affordable clothing store were Southampton, Bristol, Wolverhampton and Hartlepool.

Experts said at the time that the Cull was an important way for a select fashion, which had reduced his trading portfolio with just less than half with those closures.

It is after the fashion brand was in the administration in 2019, whereby the retailer blamed the guilty economic circumstances in the Hoofdstraat.
