River Island to close Hereford store as part of cuts

River Island has announced that its Hereford store is to shut.

The high street retailer, which trades from about 230 stores, is to close 33 shops in a restructuring plan which will be put to creditors in August.

It's unclear how many jobs are under threat from a formal rescue deal, though the business previously said: "We regret any job losses as a result of store closures, and we will try to keep these to a minimum."

Hundreds of jobs could be at risk. In total, River Island employs around 5,500 people.

The River Island store in Hereford will close in January 2026.
