Fashion retailer Mosaic Brands, which operates brands such as Noni B, Rivers, Millers and Katies will close as many as 500 stores across the country after the retailer was ravaged by the COVID-19 pandemic | domp

Fashion retailer Mosaic Brands has swung to a massive $212 million loss and will close as many as 500 stores across the country after the retailer was ravaged by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The fashion retailer is planning to permanently close up to 500 of its 1300-plus stores across Australia.Mosaic reported a statutory loss before tax of $212.1 million, a 1900 per cent decline on the prior year's statutory profit of $11 million. The huge fall was partially due to $113.5 million in impairments of the company's brand names and other goodwill.Advertisement

Part of those negotiations will see Mosaic shut between 300 to 500 stores over the next 12 to 24 months, with the company saying 41 per cent of its current leases were on holdover, and 81 per cent expire in the next two years. The retailer has 1333 stores across Australia.

Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway announces resignation ahead of US electionKellyanne Conway says she will be departing at the end of this month to spend more time with her family and help her children with remote learning during the coronavirus pandemic. She's torn her family apart for Trump and he couldn't care less. I hope she can rebuild the bridges she's burned and learn there is nothing of any value or reward in the Trump sphere. Very sad. Of course, on one side she works for the Trump campaign and on the other side her husband is running the ‘Lincoln project’ I don’t know how she can manage the whole thing
