Imagine the drop in Rates income as all these prime sites fail and stand empty.

 

Lack of imagination from Govt/local Govt.

Going into any department store nowadays is like walking down the high street anyway as inside it is all segregated into different brands and concessions. Not surprised that we’ve lost Allders, BHS and potentially HoF!

There was never a branch of HoF near me, so I'm not in the habit of shopping there.  As it happens, I do now live within 20 miles of one (which is not one of the condemned ones) but I've never set foot in it.  There's a Debenhams and a John Lewis right beside it.

After nearly 118 years of publication, The Raymond/Prinsburg News is no more.  The weekly newspaper serving the communities of Raymond and Prinsburg in Kandiyohi County (MN) delivered the news in its final edition July 4. "It was a very hard decision,'' said Ted Almen, who along with his wife, Kari Jo, have published The News since they acquired it just over 20 years ago.  (Not one week did they make a profit).

The Raymond/Prinsburg News announced the closing with a front page modeled after the original Raymond News as published with its founding Nov. 23, 1900. This last edition marked the 6,124th week of continuous publication.

So if anyone out there finds Ted Almen buying their business - be very afraid

Debenhams denies cash crunch problem.  https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-44838413

Goodbye. 

 

Was there on friday. Three or 4 floors most of the people i saw were staff standing around, i saw more staff than shoppers. The place looked alot brighter and very clean since last time but lifts took ages and you had to get off one lift and walk across to another to get to the top floor. Shelves packed, no queues. This was friday after 6pm so not sure if thats dead hour or what , but the size of it you'd imagine it would always need to be packed to pay rents,staff etc.
