US-owned chain has not yet said which stores will close or how many jobs will be lost
Fashion chain Gap is to close 19 stores in the UK and Ireland as the coronavirus pandemic continues to take its toll on the high street, while a distribution centre in Rugby remains at risk.
A spokesperson confirmed that the US-owned chain had decided not to renew store leases that expire next month, in a retrenchment that follows a strategic review of its European presence.
