AK Retail boss Andrew Killingworth shared that he had “big plans” for the M&Co brand, which fell into administration for the second time in two years at the start of December 2022 but was saved when the brand and intellectual property were sold to AK Retail Holding in February.
Sadly, the deal did not include the brand’s physical stores which meant all 170 were going to close - putting 1,910 jobs at risk. All the remaining M&Co stores closed in April.

“We want to ensure that M&Co continues to be a beloved and trusted brand for generations to come.”
