[영국] 데번햄스, 5월 2일~15일까지 27개 매장 최종 폐점
2021-04-26 오후 11:42:22
영국 백화점체인 운영기업인 데번햄스(Debenhams)에 따르면 2021년 5월 2일~15일까지 27개 매장이 최종 폐점하기로 결정했다.
2021년 4월 초부터 97개 매장은 다시 문을 열어 패션의류 및 가정용품을 최대 80%까지 할인된 가격에 최종 영업을 진행하고 있는 중이다.
데번햄스는 상기 27개 매장을 제외한 나머지 매장들의 정확한 폐점일자는 확정하지 않았다. 2020년 242년된 데번햄스는 파산했으며 또한 코로나-19 사태로 매장 영업이 제한되거나 중단됐다.
2021년 1월 온라인 패션의류 소매체인 운영기업인 부후(Boohoo)는 데번햄스와 £5500만파운드 상당의 계약을 체결했다. 이후 데번햄스 매장이 문을 영구히 닫을 때까지만 온라인 영업을 진행한다.
상기 계약은 '데번햄스' 라는 브랜드와 웹사이트만 포함시켰을 뿐 실제 매장은 제외됐다. 이에 따라 데번햄스 직원 1만2000명의 일자리가 위험에 처해질 것으로 전망된다.

Debenhams confirms final store closing dates for 27 branches - see the full list
The 242-year-old retailer, which collapsed last year, had reopened 97 stores of its stores earlier this month for a final closing down sale
22 april 2021
The 242-year-old retailer, which collapsed last year, had reopened 97 stores of its stores after lockdown for a final closing down sale with up to 80% off fashion and home products.
At the time, Debenhams told The Mirror stores will start to close permanently from May 2, with the stock clearance completed and final stores expected to close by May 15.
It has now confirmed the closing dates for 27 of its remaining branches in England and Wales - you can see the full list below.
The retailer had previously confirmed that it will not be reopening its 15 Scotland stores after lockdown.
Debenhams will operate online-only when stores permanently close their doors after being bought by Boohoo in January this year in a deal worth £55million.
The purchase only included the Debenhams name and website, but not its physical stores.
The deal also put 12,000 jobs at the company at risk, although it is not clear at this stage how many of these roles have been saved by Boohoo.
Debenhams had 118 stores when the Boohoo deal was confirmed, although it had already confirmed the closure of six branches including its flagship Oxford Street store.
JD Sports was previously tipped to save the retail giant, but it pulled out of rescue talks after news of Arcadia's collapse broke.
For its final closing down sale, Debenhams said its stores have been made Covid-secure, with hygiene and social distancing measures in place.
Its shops had been shut for the last three months, alongside all non-essential retail, due to the third national lockdown, although they could still offer online shopping.
A spokesperson for Debenhams said: “With such great bargains on offer, it’s no wonder our stock is selling out incredibly fast.
“Time is running out for shoppers to take advantage of the incredible discounts being offered at these 27 stores.”
Debenhams has not confirmed exact closing dates for the rest of its stores, but they are expected to be shut permanently by May 15.
The stores are reopening as part of Debenhams’ final stock liquidation process and will continue to trade until stock is fully cleared.
