Mothercare plc was a British retailer that specialised in products for expectant mothers and in general merchandise for children up to eight years of age. It was listed on the London Stock Exchange and was a constituent of the FTSE SmallCap Index.
Mothercare's United Kingdom subsidiary had over 150 stores in 2017, but by 2019 the number had been reduced to 79. In November 2019, the subsidiary was placed into administration, which led to closure of all the stores, continuing as a franchise-only business. Mothercare-branded products are sold in the UK by Boots, and Mothercare continues to supply franchisees in other countries.[2]
