The announcement is the latest blow to the UK high street and comes after a number of retailers, including Sports Direct, JD Sports, New Look, and WHSmith, also announced closures.
In an effort to thwart thieves, the retailer has slapped the anti-theft devices on the £19 bag of Easter chocolate treats at a store in John Street, Liverpool.

The retail giant is angling to sell off its high street division so it can focus on the lucrative travel division, which generated £126million of profit last year.
In recent years, WH Smith has tarnished the gleaming reputation as a shining beacon of the British high street with its near-constant clearance sales and 'overpriced rubbish'.
The iconic high street chain has already seen two of its stores in Luton, Bedfordshire and Old Christchurch Road, Bournemouth, close its doors for good on January 18.
