David Jones, Australia's oldest department store, will close half of its 38 stores by the end of the year, including its Perth flagship and seven properties in New South Wales, as part of a major restructure. FTI Consulting was appointed receiver by the company's primary lender, Hilco Capital, after McGrathNicol was appointed voluntary administrator by the retailer's board. The closures comprise seven stores in New South Wales, three each in Victoria and Western Australia, two each in Queensland and South Australia, one in the ACT, and David Jones's sole New Zealand store in Auckland. The closures largely affect smaller format stores, sparing David Jones's city flagships.
