The Original Factory Shop (TOFS) in Cowdenbeath has confirmed their closing date.

As previously reported in the Times, the shop on Woodend Place launched a closing-down sale after the company fell into administration in January.

It came as owner Modella Capital announced the closure of both Claire's and The Original Factory Shop, which said it had made the “tough decision” to kickstart insolvency proceedings for the businesses.

On January 28, administrators were appointed on behalf of TOFS.

Now, TOFS has announced on Facebook that they will be closing their doors on Saturday, April 4.

They posted: “Now that all staff members are aware we have a store update for you but sadly it’s not the news we all hoped for.

“We now have a confirmed closing date, our last day of trading will be the 4th of April.

“We would like to thank you all for all your kind words and support and still hope to see you in store.”
