I was in BHS in Jersey and found that the stuff even in their 'sale' was more expensive than what I would have bought in somewhere like Primark. They also didn't have a great selection and everything was just so unkempt.

went into BHS today, as I thought the Food Court is not part of the sale, and the lady at the till confirmed that Happy Shopper are not happy about the fact they got involved.
Plenty of stuff left, both BHS and Arcdia brand stuff. |

The council can specify the type and size of the sign.. In York, McDonalds are in a listed building and they were not allowed to change the facade and could only put up a tiny unobtrusive sign. It can be done!

For some places it has nothing to do with the signage, and more to do with not "lowering the tone".
In a place i lived a few years ago the locals were on the street with placards at the idea that a poundshop would open on their high street, meanwhile across the street a Gun shop opened without a second glance. I must add though, that the same locals would often travel 20 miles to the nearest poundshop to buy branded things for the right price (they put the goods into M&S bags of course) they just didnt want it in their back yard.

has anyones BHS closed yet?

Normally rent is paid every 3 months March,June,Sept and Dec roughly at the end of the month so if you're going to pay for the space you might as well use it, those that are being closed down may be used to offload the less valuable tat thats not shifting in other stores to keep up trailer usage on transport costs along with other things.

20 BHS stores closing this week, including Peterborough
http://www.peterboroughtoday.co.uk/n...week-1-7481833 This surprises me, because it does not see that unstocked |

I'm surprised our local branch isn't on that list yet. They're even selling the shop fittings right now!
I guess there must be quite a bit of stock left and that's keeping them open for a bit longer. Most of it is ghastly though! |

Basildon BHS has already closed. Not sure about the Lakeside branch.
Don't know how I missed it , but the My Local chain of convenience stores which recently replace dthe Morrisions 'M Local' stores has gone bust. They had only been running for about 9 months! Wikipedia entry here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Local |

Obviously the moral thing of selling pew pew to certain countries is a different matter but i'd doubt the sudden explosion in deer/grouse/pheasants/ducks and bunnies would really be in our best interests especially if you get a deer running across the road and into your car messing up your no claims

I think Arcadia group will be next to go, horrendous pension deficit and its alleged the odious greens are taking money under the guise of fees from the business at an alarming rate.

I think that Christmas spending will be interesting this year. Most well known stores make a huge part of their turnover from Christmas sales. Will the Brexit vote encourage more or less spending? I wonder which stores will suffer most? We have in recent years had quite a few big companies go under just after Christmas so I will keep my eyes open.

The Arcadia Group have been closing many of their stores and mixing them together such as TopMan TopShop Miss Selfridge in one store and Evans Dorothy Perkins Burton in one store. Their products are now in Debenhams and when The Arcadia Group owned BHS some of their Evans, Walis, Burton etc. stores they closed some stores and moved them to BHS.

Tesco are still massively profitable. Their profits have gone downhill because they took their eye off the ball when it came to their core supermarket business, but they're not going bankrupt just yet. People always bring up WH Smith, but their airport and train station stores make an absolute killing, plus they have a massive magazine and newspaper distribution arm which means they're going nowhere. BHS could have been seen a mile off once it was spun out of the Arcadia group of companies. Regardless of financial fiddling, it was a Woolworths waiting to happen - dated and pointless. Even if it hadn't have gone down the pan this year it would have happened sooner or later unless some miracle overhaul had occurred. |

Some people are probably listing places they wouldn't mind seeing in administration, rather than what would realistically could be next in administration.

The long term problem for WH Smith is the demise of traditional print media. Newspapers and magazines are not selling the quantity's they used to.

Ed's Easy Diner goes into Administration
http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/...ID=FB-Liv-main Really not surprised at this due to their high prices, also in Norwich they would have been facing stiff competition with the opening of Five Guys next week. |
