Virus Outbreak Britain Debenhams

Feb 6, 2021

Furniture from the the closed Debenhams flagship department store on Oxford Street in London, is removed and loaded onto a lorry, Saturday, Feb. 6, 2021, during England's third national lockdown since the coronavirus outbreak began. Online fashion firm Boohoo has bought the Debenhams brand and website for 55 million pounds ($75 million), in an acquisition which will see one of Britain's oldest department store chains turned into an online-only operation. The 118 stores will close for good as Boohoo sees little value in them when so much shopping now takes place online, a shift that has been accelerated by the coronavirus restrictions.
