Full list of Carpetright stores to close revealed following Tapi rescue
The full list of Carpetright stores that are set to close following a rescue deal by rival Tapi Carpets has been revealed.
Tapi has agreed to snap up the flooring retailer’s intellectual property and 54 of its stores, leaving the remaining 218 branches set to close.
Jeevan Karir, managing director of Tapi, said a full rescue was “unviable”, due to Carpetright’s “materially loss making” business and its “significant debt”.
The retailer was also wary of any scrutiny from the competition authorities.
Kevin Barrett, CEO of Carpetright owner Nestware Holdings, said: “We have tried everything to turn Carpetright around and I’m truly sorry that we were unable to save more jobs. The deal will not affect Carpetright in Europe or other brands within Nestware Holdings including Keswick and Trade Choice.”
