Chocolate maker Thorntons has said none of its stores will reopen after coronavirus lockdowns are lifted.
The decision to close its 61 shops will put more than 600 jobs at risk.
The company said it had been badly hit by the pandemic, which forced its stores to shut their doors during the crucial Christmas and Easter holidays.
"The obstacles we have faced and will continue to face on the High Street are too severe," said Thorntons retail director Adam Goddard.

They have great products, what a pity. And for the staff, too. I suppose we've all been buying our chocolate at the supermarket and newsagents during lockdown.
Shame to see another big High St name disappear too.
Chocolate has been our lockdown treat. Just to break the monotony of the day.

They'll still be available online and in supermarkets but it's another one disappearing from the high street.

I know but I like shops! It's nice to just go out and get something, instead of just ordering then waiting for it to delivered. :)

At least 600 jobs - gone. :'(
