Administrators for the Birthdays retail chain have accepted two separate offers for 199 stores and 11 stores respectively, which will safeguard approximately 1,350 jobs. The buyers are yet to be named.
Clintons Cards put the chain into administration last month. The remaining 132 stores in the chain will close, with the loss of some 800 jobs.
"We are pleased to announce that two offers have been accepted and are hopeful that contracts will be finalized in a matter of days," says Peter Saville, partner at administrator Zolfo Cooper Europe. "No purchaser has been forthcoming for the remaining 132 stores or the head office at Bury and we will be implementing a closure program with immediate effect, with all stores scheduled to cease trading by close of business on June 24."
