This means more than 450 workers across the country could lose their jobs as the stores will likely shut for good if the deal goes through. The potential closure comes as high street giant Next is reportedly eyeing up the chain. This means that if Next proceeds with its acquisition, shoppers across the country could see all of the chain's stores, including the Glasgow Buchanan Street shop, go bust. The footwear chain, which is known for its sophisticated range, has 37 stores across the UK at risk. The chain, revered for its elegant shoes and accessories, has been an integral part of the country’s high street retail since 1880.
