Frasers Group closes Flannels Junior stores

Flannels is closing three of its standalone kidswear Junior stores in Bluewater, Westfield Stratford and Westfield White City.

The Frasers Group-owned retailer has launched closing down sales in the locations and store staff have been made redundant, Drapers reported.

The units were previously occupied by Base Childrenswear, which Frasers acquired from JD Sports in December 2022 alongside 13 other businesses.

The group rebranded the three sites to its Flannels Junior fascia in the summer of 2023 following the £47.5m deal.

The retailer opened its first dedicated kidswear store at 223 Ingram Street in Glasgow in 2021. It is the only fascia to remain following the closures.
