Mothercare in the UK closed its final store on the 12th of January 2020 and has signed an exclusive deal with a new partner to re-introduce the much loved Mothercare brand in the UK later on this summer. Mothercare’s International business is profitable and growing with more than 1000 stores in 40 countries and remains unaffected by the recent closure of Mothercare in the UK.
In Indonesia, Mothercare is operated by the Kanmo Group.

Our online site, www.mothercare.co.id, along with our brick and mortar stores are registering strong sales growth year on year. We recently opened Mothercare’s largest store in Southeast Asia at Grand Indonesia Mall, where you can find the widest variety of Pushchairs, travel, feeding, nursery, toys & fashion products all under one roof.
