EE, Britain biggest mobile operator, is in talks to take over stores from Phones 4U , which fell into administration on Monday, a spokesman said, confirming a Sunday Times report. "We can confirm that we have been approached by the (Phones 4U) administrator and are in discussions about the stores," an EE spokesman said, declining to comment on the number of stores that EE would be looking to take over.
A source close to the company said EE could take-over "dozens" of Phones 4U stores, while the Sunday Times said it was looking at more than 60.
Mobile phone retailer Phones 4U, which has 550 standalone stores and 5,596 employees, fell into administration after EE joined Vodafone in not renewing its network agreement.
