M&Co closing remaining stores by the end of April with 24 shutting this weekend

M&Co will close all of its final stores by the end of April. The retailer, which fell into administration at the start of December was saved in a deal with Yours Clothing in February.

However the sale only includes its brand and intellectual property and not the retailer's physical stores which meant its 170 were set to close. It reportedly put 1,910 jobs at risk.

So far, around 120 M&Co shops have disappeared from the high street, the Mirror reports. And the majority of the remaining sites are set to close this weekend - with the others gone before the end of the month.
