Bodycare has announced the closure of 32 of its UK stores – five in the Midlands – after the company collapsed into administration.
The high street retailer, which sells health and beauty products, appointed administrators from Interpath today, Friday, September 5, after facing a shortfall of funding and pressure from its creditors.
It means 115 stores will remain open as normal while the future of the chain is assessed, including potentially looking for a buyer.
