A major fashion retailer is set to close a store in a busy UK city. A number of signs have been put on the window of the shop, with a 50% off sale also confirmed.
Quiz Clothing, based at Meadowhall Shopping Centre in Sheffield, will shut for good after the company entered administration in February. Bosses confirmed at the time that 40 stores across the country would be at risk. Hoardings have now been spotted at the unit in Sheffield, announcing that the branch is one of those affected.
As reported by Yorkshire Live, the signs at the Quiz shop read: “Store closing. Save up to 50 per cent – off original price.”
Quiz, which was founded in 1993, collapsed into administration on February 5. The online store has since closed, and around 100 people have lost their jobs across the head office and warehouse.
Around 40 stores remain open across the UK as administrators try to clear inventory. The retailer cited a weak Christmas season, high costs and general tough trading conditions for its collapse.
Quiz, which employed 565 people before entering administration, was listed on the London Stock Exchange in 2017. However, the women’s clothes specialist first entered administration in 2020.

They announced the closure of 82 shops before buying them back. This allowed them to renegotiate with landlords but the firm has once again collapsed into administration.
Quiz’s administration is being managed by restructuring advisor Interpath. The Scottish advisers said “strong economic headwinds” over the last 12 months impacted the company, along with increased business rates and decreased consumer spending.
Alistair McAlinden, joint administrator and head of Interpath, previously said: “With Quiz, the latest retailer to fall into administration, there’s no doubt it’s been a tough start to 2026 for the UK High Street.
“It’s our intention to continue to trade all stores and the concessions in Ireland as a going concern for as long as we can while we assess options for the business.”
