Debenhams has confirmed its remaining 49 stores will permanently close on either May 12 or 15.
It comes after the retailer temporarily reopened its stores in England and Wales when lockdown eased last month to complete its final closing down sale.
In March, Debenhams announced the permanent closure of its 15 stores in Scotland, resulting in 647 redundancies.
“Over the next 10 days, Debenhams will close its doors on the high street for the final time in its 242 year history..
Debenhams went into liquidation late last year after a rescue deal for the iconic department store chain fell through.
The company had been struggling for years to keep up with online competitors, and the Covid-19 pandemic and consequent store closures delivered the final blow.
In January, the company was acquired by fast-fashion group Boohoo for 55 million pounds. The deal included the brand and website of the high street stalwart, but not its store estate.
