Dawn Til Dusk was an English chain of 90 convenience stores located throughout the North of England. It was founded in 1986, and based in Sunderland, Liverpool and Manchester.[1] The chain went into receivership in 1999. The chain blamed its closure on the bootlegging alcohol and cigarettes trade.[1] Many outlets were taken over by Heron Foods and One Stop.
History
It listed on AIM in November 1996.[2] In August 1997 it acquired the Sunderland-based Milbank chain, doubling its number of stores to 80, and bringing it into the North East of England.[2]
