Ethel Austin Update

I posted a few weeks ago about fashion chain Ethel Austin going into administration. Well it seems that the store may have been saved this week with news that Elaine McPherson, former boss of MK One, has bought the chain. The full story is here.

  1. The two stores near where I am have already closed and been stripped of all of their fittings! I wonder if they are only saving some of them??

  2. Yes I think I read somewhere that around 30 of the stores would be closed.

  3. That is sad - it is like a treasure trove, you never quite know what you might find!!

  4. I know, I love it there, especially for the shoes. Fingers crossed my local store stays open.
