UK fashion retailer launches closing-down sale as all 22 stores at risk of shutting
LK Bennett offers discounts up to 75% in 22 UK stores under administration as physical outlets face closure despite brand sale to Gordon Brothers.
- Across the UK, LK Bennett launched a closing-down sale with up to 75% off, according to the company, excluding nine stand‑alone and 13 concession stores.
- After entering administration earlier this year, John Noon and Mark Firmin, joint administrators, sold LK Bennett's brand to Gordon Brothers, US firm, while nine stand‑alone and 13 concession stores remain at risk.
- Online, the LK Bennett website will continue to trade for the foreseeable future, while stores at risk include Bluewater, Canary Wharf, Knightsbridge, New Bond Street, Richmond and White City Westfield.
- The move adds to a turbulent start to 2026 for the UK high street, with several retailers entering administration and Tesco planning to cut 380 jobs.
- The transaction sits alongside a year of mixed retail announcements as Gordon Brothers, US owner of Laura Ashley and Poundland, acquires LK Bennett's brand and IP while Aldi, M&S, Superdrug, and Lidl plan openings in 2026.
