Two Claire's Accessories stores in Coventry will soon be closing for good. Sales reportedly have started over the weekend.

Administrators agreed to sell 156 stores to investment group Modella Capital, saving around 1,000 jobs. But 145 UK branches, including those at West Orchards Shopping Centre and Broadgate House , are set to close permanently in mid-November.

Items at the two Coventry Claires were slashed by 20 per cent this weekend. Out of the 145 branches closing, 115 are in the UK, with the others based in Ireland and the Channel Islands.

Closure dates are yet to be announced, and the number of staff impacted has yet to be confirmed. It follows Claires filing for bankruptcy in the US, citing struggles related to the decline of foot traffic to physical stores.
