You could see that place dieing on its arse for a few years in fairness.

Good, (not sure about recently), but in the past their piercing practises were appalling. The guns they used were shockingly bad

It was inevitable it was going to happen; I’m amazed it lasted this long.

My childhood😭 going into it when I was a little girl was like heaven✨️

Are they going to blame the „radical left“ here too?
Edit: Lol at getting heavily downvoted for this. When Claire’s closed in the US a sign spotted on a store blamed the „radical left“ for the closure.

they’ve been running a shutting down sale for a decade

So much for the ‘HERE TO STAY!’ signs plastered all over the windows of the Claire’s stores that didn’t shut down a few months back 😂😂😂

I didn’t realise they were an American outfit – always assumed they were British for some reason.

Mad they were in business for so long, extortionate prices for plastic shite

Temu, Shein and Amazon slowly but surely destroying the high street.

I’d say half the girls in the country got their ears pierced there!
Id say the online sights like Temu, Shein, Amazon didn’t help business.

Temu won with even cheaper tat.

It was totally overpriced for the quality. With penneys ,shein etc they had nt a hope

Worked there for 7 years and my store closed in November 2025 with multiple assurances of us being bought, we were shut with 4 days notice.
Awful company to work for but the people that are happy that it’s closed don’t seem to think of the hundreds of people who are now unemployed.

Awww that’s so sad. I loved Claire’s 🙁

Undercut by Temu I’m guessing.
Claire’s was full of tat but at least it was tat that created jobs and gave tweens somewhere to go in town

I was chatting to one of their employees a couple of months ago; she found out the store was closing when they opened the new promo signs (Closing Down Sale!) delivered to them. What a crap way to treat people

There was asbestos in their make up and they did deck all about it and managing their supply chain until they were forced too. Good riddance!

Dang. They were running lean

I feel like Claires has been on its last legs for about 10 years. Time to put the horse out to pasture.

To be fair it’s needed finally more space opened up for the vape and phone repair shops thought we were beginning to run low on them 🙏

Another success for the private equity sector.

A mixture of the rise of temu/shein etc and the fact that their demographic (tween girls) are disappearing. I’ve noticed tweens don’t really have play makeup or jewellery the way they used to at all, they seem to graduate straight to proper skincare/cosmetics and trendy stuff like Pandora and Nomination.
It’s kind of sad. The kids don’t get to really be kids for very long anymore

Oh man the way I used to spend all my money as a teen in Claire’s.
