Quote from The Sun Money: Carphone Warehouse will close all of its 531 standalone stores next month, in a move that will lead to 2,900 job losses.
The store closures are part of a plan to turn around the retailer's mobile business, its parent company Dixons Carphone said.
The retailer expects another 1,800 staff affected by the store closures to be able to find new jobs within the business.
There are Carphone Warehouse shops inside 305 big PC World and Curry's stores, and these won't be affected by the changes.
Carphone Warehouse said customers will be be able to go to the big stores for service while mobile offers will still be available online and the carphonewarehouse.com site will remain open.
The standalone stores, which represent 8 per cent of Dixons Carphone’s total selling space in the UK, will close on April 3.

Rationalisation: No point in having a separate store open if there's a local PC World or Curry's that can do the same thing in house.
