A major stationery retailer says it will close all its UK shops by 2027, with two stores in Scotland expected to be affected. Multiple outlets report that the company is ending its UK operations after roughly a decade of trading in the country.
The outlets cite the commercial reasons behind the move, including rising operating costs and weaker sales, which have made the current store footprint less sustainable. One report frames the closure as a broader blow to high-street shopping, while another focuses on the company’s timeline and the fact that the shutdown is nationwide rather than limited to specific locations.
Details shared across coverage include that the closures are planned for all stores across the UK by 2027, rather than a partial reduction. The reporting also indicates readers can find a full list of affected locations through the publications’ coverage, including the Scottish outlets.
