The brand will completely close down all its outlets in early next year.
MFI acquired the chain in 2007; but the brand slipped into losses as a result of growing competition from retailers such as Kmart.
However, this move will not affect the Australian Geographic magazine, which operates as a separate entity from the retail brand.
The stores sell items such as science equipment, telescopes and toys.
