Patisserie Valerie is closing 75 branches and concessions with immediate effect after going bust, administrators KPMG announced on Wednesday.

Patisserie Valerie fell into administration on Tuesday after it failed to reach an agreement with its lenders over funding. The bakery chain discovered a huge accounting hole last October caused by large-scale fraud that left it struggling to survive.

KPMG was appointed administrator of Patisserie Valerie. The professional services giant said on Wednesday that it would immediately close a number of loss-making stores.

27 Patisserie Valerie stores will close, as well as 19 branches of Druckers, another bakery chain owned by the company. 25 Patisserie Valerie concessions in Debenhams, Next, and at motorway services will also shut and the company’s bakery in Spitalfields is closing. The closures, listed in full below, will result in 920 staff losing their jobs.

KPMG said Patisserie Valerie’s remaining 122 shops will continue to trade and administrators are hopeful of finding a buyer for the business.

David Costley-Wood, partner at KPMG and joint administrator, said in a statement: “Since our appointment less than 24 hours ago, we have been pleased with the level of interest we have received in the business, and so remain hopeful of achieving a positive outcome.”
