Eight staff at Whangarei's Pumpkin Patch store will lose their jobs as the company's receivers wind up the business during the next few months.
But receiver Brendan Gibson, from KordaMentha, could not say exactly when the Whangarei store would close.
"Our current intention is for all stores to remain trading until the end of the year with some continuing on into January as stock diminishes," he said.
"The liquidation process will likely take until the end of February to complete."
Mr Gibson said Pumpkin Patch's intention since it entered receivership in October was to sell the business as a going concern but since then, without a serious expression of interest from a buyer, there was no choice but to sell all stock and wind down the business.
