    Smiths City has stopped trading as financial pressures increase

    Smiths City has stopped trading as financial pressures increase


    The home appliance and furniture retailer - founded in Christchurch in 1918, has been placed in Voluntary Administration this morning.

    All of the country's nine stores and the online shop have been closed so administrators can undertake an urgent assessment.

    Retail NZ chief executive Carolyn Young says it's devastating news and that everything is now in the hands of those in charge of the voluntary administration.
