Store closures will not hit Ireland: Ladbrokes

Betting and gaming giant Ladbrokes said its pending store closure plan will not affect its Irish operations, adding that its plans here surround consolidation.

A spokesperson for the British company confirmed reports that the company plans to close between 40 and 50 outlets this year.

However, they said the move will not affect the company’s Irish retail estate and that the UK shop closures will follow two years of above average expansion.
