Glue's parent company Accent Group announced on Wednesday that all 16 remaining stores would shut down by the end of the financial year. Most of the retail staff were on minimum wage. Glue was founded in 1998 by Australian retail entrepreneur Hilton Seskin and was acquired by Accent Group from JD Sports Fashion in 2021. It is understood Accent Group plans to narrow its focus on global brands, after becoming the exclusive local distributor of Lacoste in 2024. Accent Group chair Lawrence Myers said the business had 'navigated a challenging retail environment' since the end of 2025.
