Mothercare, a household name since 1961, shared the news that all of its 79 stores will close its doors for good in the coming months.
Administrators have also announced that the chain is no long accepting refunds.
And, as the end draws near, it has launched a closing-down sale, which sees many products’ prices slashed.
Huge discounts can be found across its ranges, including prams, pushchairs, car seats and baby clothes.
A Mothercare spokesperson said: “This is a great opportunity for customers to pick up some amazing deals as everything is reduced.”
The good news is that all product warranties and guarantees will remain valid and, although it’s not selling them, the retailer is still accepting Mothercare-branded giftcards.
The chain announced earlier this year that it had closed down 55 stores in a bid to cut costs, blaming supermarket alternatives and online shopping.
Mothercare isn’t the only high-street chain to find the going tough.
Shoppers recently reacted with shock at the news that Pizza Express is set for crunch talks with its creditors over its debts.
