Quiz to Close All 37 UK Stores as Administrators Wind Down High‑Street Business

Interpath administrators are running clearance sales to sell stock and recover funds for creditors.

Overview

  • Administrators from Interpath have announced a programme to close every remaining Quiz store with the Basingstoke branch confirmed closed on Sunday and the full 37 outlets expected to cease trading before the end of June or in early July.
  • Quiz entered administration on February 5, 2026 and joint administrators Alistair McAlinden and Geoff Jacobs are overseeing the wind‑down of the business.
  • Stores are running heavy closing‑down sales with discounts reported up to 80 percent and a company notice saying all purchases during the sale are final.
  • The retailer previously made around 109 head office and warehouse roles redundant when it first collapsed and further store‑level job losses are now unfolding though the exact total of affected staff has not been confirmed.
  • Standalone Quiz shops are closing but the brand’s concessions inside New Look and Matalan are excluded from the administration and will continue to trade, a development that reflects wider pressure on UK fashion chains this year.
