Mosaic Brands to Shut Down Millers and Noni B, Impacting 933 Jobs and 252 Stores
  • This announcement comes on the heels of last week's news regarding the closure of 136 Rivers stores and 80 Katies stores, which are also part of Mosaic Brands.

  • Overall, the total impact of the Mosaic Brands shutdown will result in nearly 3,000 jobs lost and over 700 retail stores closed across Australia.

  • Mosaic Brands entered voluntary administration in October 2024, which preceded the closure of several other brands including Rockmans and Autograph.

  • David Hardy, a partner at KPMG, confirmed that despite efforts to sell the brands, no sale was achieved, leading to the decision to close all stores.

  • At the time of entering administration, Mosaic Brands owed $249 million to 171 creditors, in addition to an undisclosed amount to approximately 300 workers.

  • Previously, Mosaic Brands employed nearly 3,000 individuals and operated around 700 stores across Australia.

  • The recent decision follows a previous announcement about the unsuccessful sale of the Rivers brand made just a week prior.

  • This decision will lead to the shutdown of 252 stores and the loss of 933 jobs.

  • During the receivership process, the management team thanked employees, customers, and suppliers for their support.

  • Mosaic Brands, a budget clothing retailer, has announced the closure of its final two brands, Millers and Noni B, following unsuccessful efforts to find a buyer.

  • KPMG, acting as receivers and managers for Mosaic, has stated that all stores will be shut down in the coming months, with an expected closure by mid-April 2025.

  • The timing of individual store closures may vary, and KPMG plans to conduct sales events and promotions while stock lasts.
