The court‑approved turnaround shifts the business to fewer shops with simpler £1‑led pricing.

  • Thirteen branches will close between January 18 and February 16, following the Dorchester exit and including a further five sites scheduled in February.
  • The February list covers Chichester and Feltham on February 8, Crayford on February 11, Nottingham (Chilwell) on February 13 and Urmston on February 16.
  • Eight January closures span locations such as Plymstock, Edinburgh’s Cameron Toll, Nottingham Eastpoint, Lymington, Christchurch, Bearwood Smethwick and Gosport.
