More than 100 stores - including Topshop and Dorothy Perkins - in jeopardy after boss's rent order
Sir Philip Green's Arcadia group - which includes Debenhams, Topshop and Dorothy Perkins - is serving notice on landlords to walk away from more than 100 stores by the end of the summer.
The fashion group has 550 stores across the UK, but all are shut due to coronavirus restrictions. There are branches of Topshop, Dorothy Perkins and Debenhams in the Brunswick Shopping Centre, Scarborough.
The company has not named the stores which have been served notice.
