Store at risk after chain goes into administration
Blackpool Gazette
|January 12, 2026
Garstang is facing another commercial blow with the likely loss of The Original Factory Shop (TOFS), one of the town centre's biggest stores, writes ANTHONY COPPIN.
The company went into administration last week after its owner said “last-ditch” measures had fallen through, putting about 2,500 UK staff at risk of redundancy.
TOFS, which has around 300 stores nationwide, was facing financial issues last year, but then a buyout of the firm by Modella Capital brought hopes its fortunes would be revived.
