Convenience stores across Ayrshire could be on the verge of closing with jobs at risk after McColl’s plunged into administration.
The retailer has gone bust and is on the brink of collapse after failing to agree a short-term loan with potential lenders.
McColl’s has shops across the whole of the region serving communities in Ayr, Prestwick, Irvine, Ardrossan, Kilmarnock and Cumnock, with local jobs now at risk.
