It was confirmed yesterday that Deloitte, the firm responsible for managing Blockbuster's period of administration, will close 129 additional stores, adding to the 31 closures already planned.
When the entertainment retailer went into administration there were over 500 stores dotted across the UK, but these closures will bring that number down to around 368. The move should also see Blockbuster's workforce of 4,000 reduced by around 30 per cent.
