Affordable fashion chain to close 120 stores citing pressure on customers
Original: Affordable fashion chain closing 120 stores due to ‘negative pressure’ on customers
A budget-friendly fashion retailer has announced it will shut 120 stores, pointing to 'negative pressure' on its customers — a signal that financially stretched shoppers are cutting back on discretionary spending. The closures mark a significant downsizing for the chain and add to a broader wave of retail store closures as brands grapple with weak consumer demand and rising costs.
Why now: The store closures reflect growing concern about strained consumer spending and its impact on affordable retail brands.
