Debenhams to close 52 stores by May 8, rest 45 stores by May 15

The department store chain said that the closing down sale was the last chance for customers to say goodbye to the local shops before they close for good, according to British media reports.

Debenhams had closed all 15 of its stores in Scotland last month, rendering almost 650 people jobless.

Fashion retailer Boohoo purchased the UK-based brand and website for £55 million, but it did not take on any of the chain’s 118 High Street stores or workforce.
