Michael Hill Jeweller has permanently closed its Tauranga, Upper Hutt and Johnsonville stores.
On May 15, the company announced to the New Zealand Stock Exchange that it would close stores across its global network in response to the changing retail environment caused by the coronavirus crisis.
Since then, the company declined to name the New Zealand stores that would be affected by the closures. But on Wednesday it confirmed the three.
“Michael Hill constantly reviews the profitability of all the stores in its network, and this has seen three stores not reopen following the Covid restrictions lifting – Johnsonville, Tauranga and Upper Hutt,” it said in a statement.
“The remaining network of 49 Michael Hill stores across New Zealand are open and trading, with no further New Zealand store closures currently planned.
