Pram store closure has expectant mums left in the dark

Anger as shop is liquidated

- KAIYA MARJORIBANKS

Mums-to-be have been left in limbo and out of pocket after an established city centre pram store went into liquidation.

Stirling Pram, most recently operating from STEP’s business park, closed its doors suddenly last week.

But families - some of whom say they have forked out over £1000 for prams, furniture and other goods - have now been left waiting to hear when or if they will receive their goods or their money back.

Some took to social media, questioning just when the owners of the business knew things had reached crisis point.

Marie Watts said: "Absolutely fuming, ordered pram, changing unit and other stuff from Stirling Pram in Stirling, paid quite a bit in deposits, only to find out today when I tried to contact them to pay balance they'd gone into administration. At least we never went in last week to pay balance.

"We're lucky, if we can’t get a refund from bank, we'll put it down to life experiences, but for some, they've given their money thinking they’re giving their unborn child the best, and are left with nothing."

Dawn Haddow said: "So the Stirling pram centre has went into liquidation and Kelsey has lost over £1000! Not been contacted or nothing."
