Beaverbrooks to close two stores in Scotland this weekend

Beaverbrooks, a jewellery chain with 89 stores, will close its East Kilbride and Dundee locations this weekend. This decision is part of a restructuring plan following a review of the company's financial performance. In total, seven stores across the UK will shut down in the coming weeks, including five additional branches in England by early April. The closures reflect ongoing challenges in the retail sector, particularly for high street businesses. Despite these closures, Beaverbrooks plans to open a new store in Harrogate this spring and is refurbishing several locations. The company aims to redeploy affected employees within its remaining stores.
