Topshop Closes All US Stores

American’s will soon no longer have the luxury to shop in Topshop stores as it has been announced this week that the UK shopping giant will shut all of its US Topshop and Topman locations.

This adds to the 200 stores in the UK which Arcadia Group (its parent company) has had to close over the duration of the past three years. This movement is pushed by Sir Philip Green’s empire in the attempt to avert a “breakup” and prevent entering an impending administration.
