Quiz Clothing closes 23 stores across the UK including one in Whiteley - a Portsmouth branch remains open for now
A popular fashion chain has closed 23 of its stores across the UK, including a Fareham branch, after it entered insolvency - however, one store in Portsmouth remains open for now.
Quiz has closed its store in Whiteley after it was deemed “loss-making or unsustainable”. The brand was bought in a pre-pack insolvency deal, which has seen new owners Orion save 42 of its shops, with the branch in Cascades Shopping Centre remaining open for now.
It comes after the fashion chain was hit by a downturn in consumer demand, with disappointing sales over the key Christmas period. While the brand has new owners it was not enough to save the 23 store which were deemed as “loss-making or unsustainable” by Orion.
