A high street retailer which has a store in the city has fallen into administration owing more than £15 million.

A report into Game, which was once the UK's largest video games retailer with 300 stores across the country, reveals creditors face losing £12m after its collapse.

The company had stores across Norwich, including a flagship shop on London Street in 2021.

It has since operated a store in Chantry Place.

A move towards digital and a tightening of the retail economy squeezed the business first into a 2011 administration, and then, despite building back profitability, another collapse.

James Saunders and Lauren Wentworth, of KR8 Advisory, were appointed joint administrators in April, and now their report details the final efforts made to save the company.

In the end, the company owed £15.8m when it was placed into administration, including £3.5m to the secured creditor and £12m to unsecured creditors.

The company also operated stores in King's Lynn, Great Yarmouth and Lowestoft.
