Debenhams website down as huge 70 per cent fire sale causes frenzy - closing down
Those attempting to access the Debenhams website will be asked to wait in a virtual queue. As of 8 am this morning the estimated wait time was nine minutes.
The 70 percent Christmas clearance sale is expected to be Debenhams’ last ever.
Debenhams closing will put 12,000 at risk across the UK.
Geoff Rowley of FRP Advisory, joint administrator to Debenhams and Partner at FRP, said in a statement: “All reasonable steps were taken to complete a transaction that would secure the future of Debenhams.
“However, the economic landscape is extremely challenging and, coupled with the uncertainty facing the UK retail industry, a viable deal could not be reached.”
