I clicked on there website today to find they have gone into administration. They are a decent size nationwide company which shows how hard times are for everyone. I'm hoping they dont go but it cant be good for them to take steps like this. When will it end ? |

They face stiff competition from the indie companies mainly due to the fact they have to sell everything at full retail. But yeah it is sad but the closing down discounts are amazing. |

Damn, thats a real shame. I like having a physical shop to go into and they sold model trees particularly cheaply. |

For anyone who missed the actual details, here from The Independent: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/busin ... 06093.html It is very sad to see physical stores go under. But then commercial rents, taxes, utilities (mainly electricity) and commercial insurance costs are all hefty. |
