M&Co close Newton Mearns and Wishaw stores as business wraps up following administration

Clothing retailer M&Co has announced the closure of its remaining stores following its collapse into administration last year.

The Renfrewshire-based company, which was previously known as Mackays, has been bought by AK Retail but the new owners haven't purchased any of the physical shops.

Their Bellshill store closed within hours of the administration announcement. All the shops will be closing permanently by the end of the month.

Staff at the Newton Mearns and Wishaw branches have now announced they have closed for good. The Paisley store is expected to close on April 15.

Stores in Lanark and Milngavie currently remain listed as open on the M&Co website but are expected to close by the end of the month.

The business's online shop has been taken down but it's believed administrators have plans to relaunch the website in the near future.

M&Co was first established as a pawnbrokers in 1834 before switching to sell clothes in 1953. In 2005, it rebranded to M&Co.

Across its 170 stores, it employed 1,910 staff.
