House of Fraser’s distribution centres at Wellingborough and Milton Keynes were reported to have reopened on Friday, but only on a limited basis to restock a number of stores that are running low on various items.

The two DCs, which are run by XPO, have been at a standstill since House of Fraser appointed administrators on 10th August in a dispute over payments.

Sports Direct chief executive Mike Ashley met XPO executives at Wellingborough on Monday (20th August), and although there was no immediate agreement there appears to have been a thaw in relations.

Sources close to Sports Direct said that there has been a “very positive” dialogue with XPO since that meeting although they two sides had not reached any final position.

The House of Fraser web site, which was taken down on 15th August, remains offline.
