Perth-founded footwear retailer Betts is closing seven underperforming stores in Western Australia and 13 stores across Australia, according to reports from The West Australian and PerthNow. The closures affect a total of 20 locations. Both outlets describe Betts as a long-established brand, founded in Perth and operating for 134 years. The company’s store closures are framed as a response to underperformance in specific locations rather than a decision to exit the market entirely. The reporting does not provide additional operational details such as which individual stores are closing, the timing of the closures, or whether remaining stores will be relocated or expanded. The articles also do not specify the company’s broader financial circumstances. Overall, the common points across the coverage are the number of stores closing in WA and nationwide and Betts’ long history as a Perth-founded shoe retailer.
