Major UK stationery store to close all 13 high street branches – full list
Typo, the Australian stationery brand owned by Cotton On, plans to withdraw from the UK and close all its high street shops and online store by early 2027. The decision follows high operating costs and softer sales, which the company says have made the UK business unsustainable.
Typo currently has around 13 UK stores, though several have already closed, including outlets at Westfield Stratford and White City, a Selfridges concession and its Angel branch. Its remaining Eldon Square shop in Newcastle is trading with a closing-down sale, but no official dates have been set for the other closures. Cotton On’s other UK brands, Cotton On Body and Cotton On Kids, will continue online and through wholesale channels.
In short
- Typo plans to leave the UK by early 2027.
- Around 13 high street stores remain.
- High costs and softer sales prompted the decision.
