350 Clinton Cards stores to close
Zolfo Cooper, administrator to Clintons, said that it would close 350 of the chain’s 784 UK stores.
The entire Birthdays chain will close, in a move that will see the brand leave the high street, as well as about 200 Clinton Cards stores, which together employ about 2,800 full and part-time staff.

The closures will begin next week, and continue into June - full announcements on which stores will be affected are expected to be made by Monday.
