The Dutch computer retailer Paradigit announced bankruptcy early in 2016, with a resulting loss of at least 100 employees - half of the chains staff - and the closure of all but three stores. Five of the nine closed stores were located in V&D department stores, which have also closed due to bankruptcy as reported here in the ERM. The remaining three stores will be bolstered by a digital shop.
