Fashion retailer Quiz is preparing to disappear from the UK high street entirely within weeks as all 37 of its remaining stores are set to close following the company's collapse into administration.
The Scottish fashion chain, which first launched in 1993, entered administration on February 5 for the second time in less than 12 months after what it described as a "tough start" to 2026.
Administrators from Interpath Advisory are now overseeing the closure programme, which will see every remaining Quiz store cease trading before July.
The Basingstoke branch at Festival Place is holding its final day of trading today as the retailer continues to wind down operations across the country.
A further four stores are scheduled to close this weekend, with branches in Hanley and Mansfield set to shut on June 13.
The Carlisle and Eastbourne stores are expected to close at midday on June 14.
Quiz's Northampton branch could also close this weekend if enough stock is sold during the retailer's ongoing clearance sale.
Joint administrators Alistair McAlinden and Geoff Jacobs of Interpath were appointed to oversee the business following its latest collapse into administration.
The latest insolvency marks the third time the fashion retailer has entered administration.

Nine Quiz stores have already closed permanently since the administration process began.
Those locations include branches in Leeds, Belfast, Aberdeen, Bracknell, Dunfermline, Inverness, Warrington and Romford.

The total number of employees affected by the closure programme has not been confirmed.
Quiz concessions operating within New Look and Matalan stores are not included in the administration process and will continue trading as normal.
Among the remaining stores still due to close before July are branches in Sheffield, Derby, Norwich, Manchester Arndale and the Trafford Centre.
Other locations scheduled to shut include Merry Hill, Newtownabbey, Braehead, Stirling, Telford, Lakeside and Newry.
Administrators have not yet confirmed exact closure dates for those final stores.
