Clarks is to permanently close a number of stores in the UK once their
leases expire in May.
While an exact number wasn’t given, a spokesperson said it would be
fewer than 10.
They added that the closures were not related to Covid-19.
The spokesperson said: “Clarks continually reviews all its stores to
ensure that they are the right size and located in the right areas in order
to provide the best possible service and offering to its customers. As part
of this normal review, we have decided not to renew the leases on a small
number of stores and as such, these will cease to trade and will not reopen
following the coronavirus closures.
“We have a strong duty of care to our employees and are doing everything
we can to minimise the impact on colleagues.”
