EE close 78 shops
Saw this comming EE are to close 78 stores where the former Orange and T-Mobile stores (now rebranded EE) are in close proximity. I personally think more will follow.

How much did the rebranding of those stores cost?

In Wakefield there are two in the main shopping centre within 30 seconds of each other, and another 5 minutes away at Trinity Walk.

It was bound to happen, no point in having two stores close together. According to the article, I read most of the staff would be taken into other stores. It was only management that would be at risk. We shall have to see.

We only got one last year which was an Orange shop last year when ever I buy or upgrade my phone I have always done it on line or phone call though but the shops are nice to go in to see how big they are before you get them.

Make them generic EE keep them open for a bit.. See where customers go most then close the quiet ones. Costly but Makes sense.

I think it might be Leeds where they're literally next door to each other.

It was obvious to me that there would be a number of store closures. A lot of places had both a T-Mobile and Orange store, now with the merger each store does all 3 networks.

Not only that, but common sense would say keep the bigger of the two open. The shop would need to be big enough to handle two lots of customers. Wouldnt be surprised, if they close both down, and move to a bigger premises in some cases.
We also have 3 within about 5 mins walk of each other so there'll definitely be closures here. |

we are on orange (3 contracts), but the orange/EE phone offers have been appalling for the last year or two - so we got handsets/contracts from other providers.

I've seen estimates of around £10k per store. Money totally wasted .... it was an idiotic move, as they surely would have known that keeping two (or more) stores in close proximity would have involved one closing down regardless of the amount of business they were doing.
