The 146-year-old
Dundee firm, which trades as DE Shoes and Foot Factory and has its headquarters
at the Dryburgh Industrial Estate, consulted staff over redundancies.
It encountered difficult trading conditions and suffered a pre-tax loss of almost ￡500,000 compared with a profit of ￡162,000 the year before.
The consultation was concluded on April 19 and the company yesterday said that despite all efforts, no viable alternatives to closure were identified and attempts to sell the business were unsuccessful.Possible to have external speakers and inhomedisplay hooked up at the same time?We have all of the wholesalebeads you use every day.
Five stores were sold in March, saving some retail jobs, and there was some interest in a few of the remaining stores as going concerns.
No buyer emerged for the company and its 25 DE Shoes and Foot Factory outlets, however, and notice of closure has now been given to the 162 staff.Possible to have external speakers and inhomedisplay hooked up at the same time?
The shops are spread throughout Scotland with many in Tayside and Fife. A closing down sale will begin on Wednesday with 25% off all stock.
Managing director Robert Sinclair said: “The closing down sale could be seen as a final thank-you to all our local communities for their custom and support over the generations.
“I am immensely sad that in the company’s 146th year it has proved necessary to decide to wind it up.
“The last months have been incredibly difficult for everyone but I have been grateful for the ongoing support from members of the public who do not want to see their local shoe shop close.We buy overstock cartierreplicawatche and factory closeouts.”
The company would continue to consult with interested parties looking to take on any of the remaining stores as going concerns.We have all of the wholesalebeads you use every day.
Dundee City West MSP Joe FitzPatrick said he will raise the issue with enterprise minister Fergus Ewing.
The vice president's wife, Jill Biden, stopped by after Collier's ceremony to leave flowers and add a pair of running shoes to the growing number hanging on police barricades.
Collier was killed a week ago by the suspected perpetrators of the bombing attacks, 19-year-old Dzhokhar Tsarnaev and 26-year-old Tamerlan Tsarnaev.
"We have suffered," Biden said at Wednesday's memorial, his voice booming across Briggs Field in the heart of the urban campus. "We are grieving. But we are not bending. We will not hunker down. We will not be intimidated.
"On every frontier, terrorism as a weapon is losing," he added.
"What galls them the most is that America does remain that shining city on the hill. We're a symbol of the hopes and the dreams, of the very aspirations of people all around the world.... Our very existence makes a lie of the perverted ideology."
Wednesday's service drew thousands to the MIT athletic field, including hundreds of law enforcement personnel from across the country. There were speeches from university and elected officials and moments of sombre silence.
Backed by the MIT Symphony Orchestra, James Taylor sang the wistful The Water is Wide. And then, with a university a capella group, he crooned, "Shower the people you love with love," a line from another of his hits - always topical, but especially on this day.
