Swiss office supplies retailer Office World plans to close all of its remaining physical stores and move entirely online.
The company says the shops across the country will shut gradually, with the final store, in Acacias in Geneva, expected to close early next year.
The decision follows growing competition from online retailers.
Office World says maintaining brick-and-mortar shops is no longer economically viable.
In future, Office World plans to focus on its digital platform.
