The Stourbridge branch, in Bridge North Road, is among 30 stores that will be closed, with the loss of 182 jobs.

It follows the closure of 72 stores earlier this month, including one in West Bromwich, and the loss of 452 jobs after administrators Moorfields Corporate Recovery were called in.

Today Moorfields said no 'acceptable' offers had been received for the business.
