As announced on 25 January 2021, the French fashion retailer Pimkie will be closing 40 of its 75 branches in Germany, which will result in loss of approximately 150 jobs. Pimkie has been hit hard by the COVID-19 crisis causing the company to file for bankruptcy in September 2020. The company has since then been in negotiations regarding a restructuring programme; agreement has just been reached by the company’s creditors.
Pimkie has 350 employees in Germany.
