Paperchase launches discounts ahead of 106 stores shutting forever – but huge closing down sale may follow | The Sun

PAPERCHASE is running a 20% off sale online ahead of 106 stores closing forever.

Earlier this week the stationery retailer collapsed in administration after it failed to find a buyer.

Supermarket giant Tesco quickly stepped up to buy rights to the Paperchase brand, as they plan to sell items in stores.

The Sun then revealed yesterday that administrators were planning to liquidate the business, closing all of the 106 stores and putting 1,000 jobs at risk.

When a business is liquidated, they will look to sell stock for as much as possible to pay back creditors.

It’s understood that administrators will hold off only deeper discounting, such as a closing down sale, until a final decision has been made on when to close the 106 shops.

In 2010, it launched its website and its first standalone store in Ireland in Dundrum, Dublin, in 2020.
