Overview

• Joint administrators at Interpath said a buyer for the store estate is unlikely after talks with several interested parties.
• The closures follow the company’s early September administration and an initial round of 32 store shutdowns from a 147-site footprint.
• Administrators cited stock shortages, rising rents and staffing costs, a delayed move to online retail, and pressure on consumer spending as key factors.
• Interpath will continue to explore sales of assets, including the Bodycare brand, with further updates to come.
• All affected employees will receive support with claims to the Redundancy Payments Service as stores complete wind-downs this week.
