Multiple retailers have been closing down stores up and down the UK this year. From bargain favourites to beauty chain’s, many have been pulling down their shutters.
Now a popular Scots-based clothing retailer is joining the ever growing list, with one of its branches based in a busy Glasgow shopping centre set to close down with a huge “everything must go sale.”
Quiz Clothing in the Silverburn Shopping Centre has been spotted with posters announcing that the store is closing down, although the official date remains unknown.
As reported by the Scottish Sun, the shopfront of the popular women’s clothing and accessories chain broke the news to customers, with huge red posted in the doorway reading: “Store Closing.”
It added: “All stock must go.”

It won’t be the first closure for the Scots clothing retailer, as it has already permanently closed other branches based in Glasgow, Dundee, Falkirk, Motherwell and Aberdeen.
Founded in Scotland in 1993, Quiz quickly became popular with fashion-conscious women who were looking for trend-led and catwalk-inspired clothing at affordable prices.
After beginning trading with just three Scots stores, the high street firm quickly grew to operate 275 stores across the UK, alongside operating multiple concessions at major retailers such as New Look.
However, in January this year, we reported that the Glasgow-based firm was set to close down ‘one third’ of its stores, with 17 Scottish sites and hundreds of jobs at risk following the decision.

In February, the clothing company officially called in insolvency practitioners Teneo and announced 23 shops would be shuttering after a “marked decline” sales both online and in store.
Administrators Orion Retail Group Limited, a subsidiary of Teneo, then agreed to acquire 42 Quiz stores from Zandara in a pre-pack insolvency deal.
It comes after the high street retailer recently relocated its location based in the Braehead Shopping Centre to the upper floor, with shoppers previously able to find the store on the lower level.

As for the Silverburn Shopping Centre, Quiz isn’t the only retailer to be closing down, as a flagship store for another Scottish-founded firm also announced it would be shuttering following the end of its lease agreement.
Luxury homeware store The Designer Rooms announced its branch in the Glasgow shopping venue would be permanently closing after six years of trading, with the firm holding a major clearance sale in September.
High street retailers across Scotland have been announcing closures due to multiple factors ranging from a change in shopping habits and a decline in sales to rising national insurance and rent contributions.
However, amidst the wave of closures, the country has witnessed a few new openings, with Silverburn becoming home to Scotland’s first ever Haribo store in September, while Uniqlo just opened a new location on Glasgow’s Argyle Street, marking the second in the country.
