Paperchase customers received an email this morning (February 15) informing them that the stationery retailer will be closing its website with just two days of trading left. The company fell into administration last month (January 31) and now the website will close permanently on Friday (February 17) at midnight.
The Paperchase brand and intellectual property however has been bought by Tesco. The eleventh-hour deal purchase did not include its physical stores either which has put 106 Paperchase high street shops and around 820 jobs at risk.
There are currently seven Paperchase stores in and around Manchester. In the email sent to customers about the website, the retailer said the online store is offering at least 30% off "almost everything".
