Point Blank Reopens Manchester Deansgate After Liquidation Closures

Owners say the collapse followed the loss of their Manchester lease during the landlord’s administration.

Overview

  • The Manchester site has reopened under the direct control of the Point Blank Group after the business regained the keys following intense discussions.
  • Leeds and Newcastle locations remain closed for the foreseeable future as the company works to identify solutions.
  • The chain had announced liquidation earlier this month, triggering the immediate shutdown of all three venues.
  • Management attributes the crisis to losing access to the Deansgate premises when the landlord entered administration, which caused a wider operational fallout.
  • The company says it is working with relevant parties to clarify the status of existing bookings, and customers reacted with relief to the Manchester reopening.
