Hundreds of jobs at risk as River Island takes axe to store base

UNITED KINGDOM, JUN 20 – River Island aims to cut costs after a 19% sales drop and £33.2 million loss in 2023, risking hundreds of jobs as it seeks rent reductions for 71 stores.

  • River Island plans to close 33 of its 230 stores as part of a major restructuring plan.
  • The store closures are due to declining high street sales and higher costs, leading to a £33.2 million loss in 2023.
  • The restructuring involves a vote by creditors in August for fresh funding to aid the retailer's turnaround.
