UK Retailer Which Closed in Glasgow No Longer Accepting Gift Cards or Loyalty Points
Next acquired the Russell & Bromley brand and three stores but 33 UK and Ireland locations remain under administrators and face possible closure, affecting gift card use.
- Earlier this year, Next acquired the Russell & Bromley brand name, domain names and intellectual property and three UK stores: Mayfair, Chelsea and Bluewater.
- After trading problems, administrators were appointed on January 21 to manage Russell & Bromley, which fell into administration in January after trading problems.
- Shoppers can no longer use Russell & Bromley gift cards or loyalty points, Next confirmed, and Next's website advises customers to contact the administrators for queries.
- Despite Next's purchase of the brand, most stores remain under administrators and vulnerable to closure, including 33 Russell & Bromley stores in the UK and Ireland and nine concession stores.
- Next said 'While the previous operator has ceased trading, the Russell & Bromley brand will be operated by Next in the near future', but numerous high-street and outlet sites including Bath, Belfast, Birmingham, Kildare, Ashford and Cheshire Oaks remain at risk.
