Current locations include Weymouth, Dorchester, Poole, Castle Point, Wimborne, Blandford, and Sherborne. No specific store closures have been confirmed as the company struggles with challenging trading conditions and rising costs. Local business leaders express concern over the potential impact on communities and the high street. The owner cites government policy and geopolitical issues as contributing factors.
