Debenhams confirm closing dates for remaining 52 UK stores. (PA) Debenhams has announced the final closing date for its final 52 UK stores. After scraping through previous years, the pandemic saw Debenhams finally fall into administration. In January, online fashion retailer Boohoo has bought the Debenhams brand and website for £55 million in a deal that will see the brand operate as an online-only retailer from next year. Bosses confirmed the deal will not include stores as part of the structured winding down of the business. Debenhams reopened on April 12 as non-essential retailers were given the green light to reopen in England but said they will only trade until all stock is cleared.
