The Entertainer

The Entertainer in Stevenage is clearing everything out with at least 50% off everything. I did say 'TE always has a sale on' but they are clearing out absolutely everything reduced and it is on 2 levels and one level has already closed, I've been told that everything is going because they are closing down.

I went down there just 10 days ago and there was not a sniff of this so something so maybe happening within the company making them close PDQ as it has happened in the last week. It might be worth checking out your local one to see if it is the same.

I do hope that they are not going into liquidation. I thought initially it might be a refit but then why clear everything out?

  • Never opening on a Sunday can't be great for business, I do hope they aren't closing all their stores
  • They've only recently opened one in Chelmsford so I'd be surprised if they are going under

    Love it
    You laugh because I'm different......I laugh cause I just farted!

    Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt. (A.C)
  • I've always thought it daft why they dont even open the Sunday before xmas.

    I'm gonna pop there tomorrow as I'm only on a half day at work and pick up some bargains for my son for next year :)

    I was in there earlier this week & no signs saying it was closing to renovate the store?
    I really don't think any store would do 50% off everything just before Christmas?

    Got me reading this

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Entertainer_(Amersham)_Ltd.

    The reason they don't open on Sunday is due to religious beliefs. Good on them. I wish more shops would do the same.Obviously (unlike certain other shops) money isn't everything.
