Fashion chain M&Co closing 20 shops TOMORROW with rest going in weeks - see list

All M&Co stores will be gone from the high street by the end of this month.

The fashion retailer fell into administration for the second time in two years at the start of December last year, but were saved when the brand and intellectual property were sold to Yours Clothing in February.

Yours Clothing also owns the clothing lines BadRhino, Long Tall Sally, and Bump It Up Maternity.

However, the sale did not include the retailer's physical stores which meant its 170 were set to close - reportedly putting 1,910 jobs at risk.

So far, around 120 M&Co locations have disappeared from the high street.

The majority of the remaining sites are set to close this weekend and others will be gone before the end of the month.
