Frasers Group has called in administrators for Kids Cavern and Base Childrenswear, retailers it purchased from JD Sports in a \u00a347.5m deal.<\/p>\n

The childrenswear retailers were among the 14 businesses bought by Frasers Group from JD Sports back in December 2022.<\/p>\n

This acquisition also included Tessuti, Choice, Clothingsites, Cricket, Giulio, Missy Empire, Nicholas Deakins, Pretty Green, Scotts, Watch Shop, and Topgrade Sportswear.<\/p>\n

Currently, Base Childrenswear operates from four stores in Westfield London, Westfield Stratford, Bluewater and Birmingham, all of which have been rebranded as Flannels Junior since last summer.<\/p>\n

While Kids Cavern has three stores in Liverpool, Manchester and Newcastle, with the Manchester location trading as Flannels Junior.<\/p>\n

Closing down sales have began in all seven stores, and according to Drapers, around 50 staff members are at risk of redundancy.<\/p>\n
