Druckers cafe at intu MerryHill is set to close after its parent company went into administration.
The store is one of the company's 71 outlets nationwide that will close its doors, including 27 stores and 25 concessions of Druckers sister brand, Patisserie Valerie.
The move comes after the Druckers unit in Halesowen’s Cornbow Centre shut in recent months, with the premises being taken over by Costa.
Accounting firm KPMG has been brought in to administer Patisserie Holdings plc. David Costley-Wood, partner at KPMG and joint administrator, said:
“Since our appointment, we have been pleased with the level of interest we have received in the business, and so remain hopeful of achieving a positive outcome.
“In the meantime, we can reassure customers that across the remaining 122 stores, it is all but business as usual.”
KPMG said that 920 jobs are to be lost nationwide as a result of the closures.
