The Dundee and Perth stores of shoe retailer Brantano are among seven in Scotland that have been bought by a new owner and saved.
The Glenrothes store could be could be closed, however, and its seven staff made redundant.
The 12 staff in Dundee and nine in Perth are among the 68 Scottish employees who will become employees of Alteri. The seven stores they work in will continue to trade under the Brantano name.
The Brantano chain went into administration last month after enduring difficult trading conditions.
Administrators PwC continued to trade the business while inviting inquiries from interested parties.
Yesterday they said the majority of the business had been sold to a company controlled by Alteri Investors, preserving 1,372 jobs and 140 stores and concessions.
The seven Scottish stores sold to Alteri are Perth, Inverness, Glasgow Pollockshaws, Dundee, Inverurie, Elgin and Linwood.
Fifty-eight UK stores and concessions have not been included in the Alteri acquisition. Thirteen of them are in Scotland including Glenrothes.
PwC lead administrator Tony Barrell, said: “We continue to trade the remaining Brantano business whilst discussions with interested parties continue.
“Unfortunately, in the event further sales are not possible, redundancies will become inevitable.”
He said PwC was supporting the Brantano employees through the difficult period.
Colleague Robert Moran said: “The offer from Alteri represents the best outcome for creditors and employees.”
