River Island 'plans to shut 33 stores' with hundreds of jobs at risk
A further 71 stores are also at risk depending on talks with landlords in order to secure improved rental deals, according to a report. Hundreds of jobs are at risk at River Island as part of plans to shut 33 of its UK stores, according to reports. The retailer has drawn up a radical restructuring plan in a bid to reverse a recent slump in trading. Sky News reports the family-owned retailer is proposing to close 33 of its 230 stores as a result. A further 71 stores are also at risk depending on talks with landlords in order to secure improved rental deals, according to the report. The retailer, which employs around 5,500 people, was founded in 1948 under the Lewis and Chelsea Girl brand before being renamed in the 1980s. It has reportedly hired advisors from PwC in order to oversee the restructuring process. The proposals are set to go to a vote by the firm's creditors – companies or individuals owed money by the retailer – in August. The deal is expected to result in fresh funding being invested into the business in order to help fuel its turnaround. It is among high street fashion chains to have been impacted by weaker consumer spending and competition from cheaper online rivals, such as Shein. River Island fell to a £33.2 million loss in 2023 after sales slid by 19%, according to its most recent set of accounts. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

Netflix star killed in horror hit-and-run as police hunt driver
Police are hunting the driver who left Million Dollar Beach House star Sara Burack for dead. A former star of Netflix's Million Dollar Beach House has tragically died after being struck in a hit-and-run in New York. Sara Burack, 40, was hit by a vehicle in the early hours of Thursday morning in Hampton Bays. The driver fled the scene and, as of Thursday night, has yet to be traced. A police investigation remains ongoing. Sara's body was found just before 3am on Montauk Highway, near the Villa Paul Restaurant. A 911 caller reported seeing a woman lying in the road. Emergency crews rushed to the scene and found her unconscious, with injuries consistent with being hit by a car. She was taken to hospital but died later that day, reports the Mirror. Sara made her name in the luxury property world as an agent for Nest Seekers International — the high-end firm featured in the Netflix reality show following brokers selling multi-million-dollar beach homes in the Hamptons. Although she left the firm over a year ago, colleagues said she remained close to many in the industry. Geoff Gifkins, Hamptons regional manager for Nest Seekers, said: 'Our thoughts and prayers are with her family and friends. This is a tremendous loss.' Friend and fellow agent Paulette Corsair paid tribute to Sara's kindness and dedication. 'She was an amazing person who really cared for people,' she said. 'A hardworking agent who was loved by many and deeply close to her family.' Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

In interviews, she spoke of her passion for property and how a stint as a summer house manager inspired her career switch. Speaking ahead of Million Dollar Beach House's release, Sara said viewers would be drawn into the glamorous Hamptons lifestyle — from luxury estates to yacht parties and polo matches. Police are urging anyone with information about the incident to come forward, as friends, colleagues and family grieve the loss of a woman remembered for her warmth, drive and generosity.
