New Look Poland operates 19 stores in the country.

In a statement New Look said: “NLP’s business has not achieved the necessary profitability to continue its ongoing operations on a standalone basis.”

While the business filed for bankruptcy proceedings on 18 March, it will continue trading while awaiting the appointment of a trustee.

New Look added: “As previously announced, New Look has been reviewing its non-core international markets to ensure it is well positioned to drive strong business performance and profitable growth. This strategic review is continuing.”
