Festival Place’s Quiz clothing store will be closing for good tomorrow.

The store is set to have its last day of trading on Friday June 12, with a sign on the shopfront counting down the days.

This comes after the retailer collapsed on February 5 and administrators Interpath Advisory were appointed.

Geoff Jacobs, managing director at Interpath Advisory and joint administrator, said: “We’d once again like to say a huge thank you to Quiz staff who have shown such dedication and professionalism under difficult circumstances.”

All Quiz stores nationwide will be closing before the end of June.

The business had previously entered insolvency in February 2025.

A pre-pack deal led by Orion Retail at that time saved more than 40 stores, allowing the Basingstoke branch to remain open while others closed.
