Around 1,200 jobs are at risk at the high street department store chain after the company announced 22 stores – including one in Kirkcaldy – would close.

continued: “Debenhams closing 22 stores is crazy… but in 20-30 years 60% of store will close. Online and AI will takeover.”

said: “They were put at risk when they failed to adapt. Over many years. Not closing now would likely put far more at risk… unfortunately. Businesses must adapt. Debenhams didn’t enough in my opinion.”

added: “If all the Debenhams stores close it will be no loss to anyone. Who in their right mind would actually shop there when every item can be bettered in price and quality elsewhere online.”
