M&Co store in Rickmansworth High Street to close today

M&Co in Rickmansworth High Street was included in the list of locations under threat when the company publicly announced its collapse on December 9, last year.

The speculation was later confirmed, and the store will be closed permanently from the end of the day (April 21).

According to The Sun, another 14 M&Co outlets closed yesterday, more are set to follow suit tomorrow, and it appears likely all the rest will be shut by the end of the month.

The Rickmansworth location posted a "seven days to go" countdown on its Facebook page on April 14 and then shared adverts for “last chance to shop” 80% off deals in store over the following days.

M&Co, which was founded in Scotland in 1961, was one of the largest privately-owned fashion retailers in the UK. It specialises in womenswear, menswear, kidswear, and homeware.

In 2020, 47 stores were culled, leaving 218 open as part of a “major restructuring” designed to secure the company’s long-term future.
