All Dick Smith stores will close their doors for the final time next month, as the collapsed electronics chain enters the final stages of its nation-wide fire sale.
Dick Smith receivers Ferrier Hodgson told staff this afternoon that 22 stores will shut down on April 16.
The stores include stores in suburban Sydney, as well as regional areas such as Wollongong in New South Wales and Sale and Mildura in Victoria.
Seven stores in New Zealand will close their doors on April 9.
Ferrier Hodgson said all remaining Dick Smith stores are expected to close by April 30, however, this is an indicative date only.
All affected employees will be given a formal notice of termination once the exact closure date for their store is finalised.
In a statement, receiver James Stewart thanked Dick Smith employees for their patience during the controlled closure process.
“This is a difficult and uncertain time for them and we have really appreciated their commitment,” he said.
