As Isaac Likes mentioned on Tuesday, Keith Matheson will shut down their Christchurch store on 10 January 09 and their Wellington store one week later due to a devastating fire that destroyed the company's Parnell based warehouse in October. The photos above were sent to me yesterday by the long running NZ clothing company's media contact Leigh Matheson, and clearly show the damage caused by the fire.
In a letter sent out to the media late last night, Keith Matheson himself states,
"On the 17th of October we suffered a devastating fire at our Head Office in Parnell, Auckland. We are saddened to advise that following this disastrous event, a difficult decision has been made to close our Wellington and Christchurch stores."
An internet search has uncovered the above video, taken by a bystander at the Keith Matheson fire, showing fire fighters battling the blaze.
Keith Matheson's two Auckland stores will continue to operate as normal.
