Claire's Accessories will close 145 stores in the UK and Ireland after a sale to Modella Capital. Closing down sales begin this weekend at affected locations. The deal secured the future of 156 branches, but 145 stores were not included, putting approximately 1,000 jobs at risk. Administrators are assessing options for the unincluded stores. Claire's filed for bankruptcy in the US in August. Modella Capital is a significant retail investor, having previously acquired WH Smith's high street chain.
