Retail blow as Braehead stationery store to pull down the shutters

Paperchase has announced that all remaining stores will close for good next week.

The stationery retailer has a branch in the Braehead shopping centre. The firm has confirmed on its website that the last day of trading will be Monday.

“All of our stores will be closed soon, our last day of trade is April 3,” it said.

Administrators were appointed on January 21 after Paperchase failed to secure any buyers for the business.

Tesco purchased the brand and intellectual property later that month – but the deal did not include any of Paperchase’s 106 UK stores.

At the time, Jan Marchant, managing director of home and clothing at Tesco, said: “Paperchase is a well-loved brand by so many, and we’re proud to bring it to Tesco stores across the UK.

“We have been building out plans to bring more brands and inspiration to the ranges we currently offer, and this will help us to take those plans further.

“We look forward to sharing more with our customers in due course.”
