[Chocolate maker Thorntons has said none
of its stores will reopen after
coronavirus lockdowns are lifted.
The decision to close its 61 shops will
put more than 600 jobs at risk.
The company said it had been badly hit
by the pandemic, which forced its stores
to shut their doors during the crucial
Christmas and Easter holidays.
"The obstacles we have faced and will
continue to face on the High Street
are too severe," said Thorntons
retail director Adam Goddard.]
