  "textContent": "\n\n\nFashion retailer Quiz is preparing to disappear from the UK high street entirely within weeks as all 37 of its remaining stores are set to close following the company's collapse into administration.\n\nThe Scottish fashion chain, which first launched in 1993, entered administration on February 5 for the second time in less than 12 months after what it described as a \"tough start\" to 2026.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nAdministrators from Interpath Advisory are now overseeing the closure programme, which will see every remaining Quiz store cease trading before July.\n\nThe Basingstoke branch at Festival Place is holding its final day of trading today as the retailer continues to wind down operations across the country.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nTRENDING\n\nStories\n\nVideos\n\nYour Say\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nA further four stores are scheduled to close this weekend, with branches in Hanley and Mansfield set to shut on June 13.\n\nThe Carlisle and Eastbourne stores are expected to close at midday on June 14.\n\nQuiz's Northampton branch could also close this weekend if enough stock is sold during the retailer's ongoing clearance sale.\n\nJoint administrators Alistair McAlinden and Geoff Jacobs of Interpath were appointed to oversee the business following its latest collapse into administration.\n\nThe latest insolvency marks the third time the fashion retailer has entered administration.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nFurther closures are planned throughout the remainder of June as the company accelerates its exit from the high street.\n\nThe Watford store is scheduled to close on June 16, followed by Clydebank on June 17 and Irvine on June 19.\n\nPortsmouth is expected to shut on June 20, while Castleford is also anticipated to close around the same date.\n\nThe Leicester branch is currently expected to cease trading before the end of next week.\n\nProminent \"everything must go\" signs have appeared across stores as the retailer attempts to clear all remaining stock before closing its doors for the final time.\n\n### LATEST DEVELOPMENTS\n\n\n\n\n  * State pension proposal could let workers access £12,548 before retirement\n  * HMRC wins £190million tax battle against Bolt in major Court of Appeal ruling\n  * Barclays buys major British banking app in £180million deal\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nThe company's website states that all purchases made during the closing-down sale are final and that remaining stock must be cleared.\n\nMr Jacobs said: \"We'd once again like to say a huge thank you to Quiz staff who have shown such dedication and professionalism under difficult circumstances.\"\n\nNine Quiz stores have already closed permanently since the administration process began.\n\nThose locations include branches in Leeds, Belfast, Aberdeen, Bracknell, Dunfermline, Inverness, Warrington and Romford.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nWhen the company entered administration earlier this year, it was estimated that more than 100 jobs across its head office and warehouse operations would be lost.\n\nThe total number of employees affected by the closure programme has not been confirmed.\n\nQuiz concessions operating within New Look and Matalan stores are not included in the administration process and will continue trading as normal.\n\nAmong the remaining stores still due to close before July are branches in Sheffield, Derby, Norwich, Manchester Arndale and the Trafford Centre.\n\nOther locations scheduled to shut include Merry Hill, Newtownabbey, Braehead, Stirling, Telford, Lakeside and Newry.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nAdministrators have not yet confirmed exact closure dates for those final stores.\n\nThe closure programme will bring an end to more than three decades of high street trading for the fashion retailer, which grew from a Scottish clothing business into a nationally recognised brand.\n\nQuiz becomes the latest retailer to disappear from Britain's shopping centres and high streets following a difficult trading environment for the sector.\n\nThe company's collapse follows the administrations of fashion brands LK Bennett and Claire's, both of which closed their remaining stores earlier this year.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n**Our Standards: The GB News Editorial Charter**",
