The collapsed fashion chain M&Co will return to the high streets next week with the opening of a new store

Fashion retailer M&Co will return to the high street next week after closing all its UK stores last year.

M&Co has announced that a brand new store will open in Newton Mearns in Scotland on May 3, with further locations to open in the coming months. The new location will be in the same location as the retailer’s old store, which closed last year. The new store will initially create six jobs for the region and will offer a clothing range in UK sizes 8-20, including M&Co’s petite range. To celebrate its return, M&Co is offering exclusive discounts to customers attending the opening, including a £5 voucher when you spend £25 for the first 50 customers.

M&Co fell into administration for the second time in two years in December 2022, blaming a “strong increase” in costs and “increased pressure on cash flows and trading losses” as the reason. At the time, the retailer had around 170 stores in Britain and employed almost 2,000 staff, with all high street stores forced to close by the end of April 2023. However, M&Co was saved when the brand and intellectual property were sold to Yours Clothing. in February 2023.

Yours Clothing, which also owns the clothing lines BadRhino, Long Tall Sally and Bump It Up Maternity, launched a new M&Co website in June last year and announced plans to reopen physical stores. In June last year, the retailer announced that it planned to open fifty new M&C0 stores over the next two years.
