The High Court appointed liquidators last night.
Two midlands clothes stores are in jeopardy after the collapse of the Arcadia Group.
It's after the High Court last night appointed liquidators to four Irish companies that are part of the British fashion group.
In the UK, Arcadia collapsed into administration yesterday.
Here, its stores include Topshop and Wallis in Athlone.
