The Central Coast store will remain open.
Chocolate café Max Brenner will close the doors of 20 of their 37 Australia doors for good at 5pm Monday 8th October.
The closure comes after the collapsed chocolate chain entered voluntary administration on Sunday 30th September.
The administrators, McGrathNicol, announced the shut down on Friday, after they found that the chain was unsalvageable.
“The decision to close stores is always regrettable but in this case we were left with no choice following a store-by-store review of Mac Brenner operations,” administrator Barry Kogan said.
“The remaining 17 stores in the Max Brenner network will stay open and it will be business as usual in these stores. Therese stores are profitable and will be offered for sale or recapitalisation.”
Over 600 workers will become redundant as the stores are closed.
