George Davies is set to close all his GIVe standalone stores little more than a year after first opening.

The GIVe store on Regent Street closed earlier this month, as revealed by Retail-Week.com, and premium denim brand 7 For All Mankind has now taken on the lease, according to reports.

Davies is also in negotiations to exit stores in Bristol shopping centre Cribbs Causeway, Sheffield shopping centre Meadowhall, and Kingston, Surrey.

He is also thought to have some of the other eight stores under offer to other retailers. All stores could be closed by next summer.

Davies exited 16 House of Fraser concessions earlier this year, but GIVe is expected to remain in independent department stores.
