Debenhams was known for its high street department stores which sold clothing, beauty products and gifts. The company made the news in April 2020, when it went into administration for the second time. Online clothing retailer Boohoo bought the Debenhams brand and website, but not the stores or staff — it runs completely online, except plans to open one store outside of London in order to secure deals with partners.
