Concerning Norwich stores there are 2, one in St Stephens and the other near Castle Mall shopping Centre.
I feel sorry for the staff. I went into the store near the Mall on Saturday and the look on the managements faces said it all, and the store although clean had the look of it not lasting much longer.

This has nothing to do with the government, the company had a management team made up of drunken baboons, it was never going to survive the way it was.
