    It's still open, not sure if they are selling things off. They were planning on cutting the store in half anyway before it went into Administration with Next taking over half so not sure what they will do now, maybe Next will take over the whole shop.

    Thanks for this.

    My local store had 20 per cent off. It was heaving. Loads of staff and managers in. At 10 am today they had received no instructions as to selling off shop floor furniture and were not allowed to. They were waiting to hear.

    Items with 20 per cent off already didn't have another 20 off if tbey had to be ordered. Not sure about shop stock. They took my name as I was wanting 2 items of furniture from display ( was already planning to order them this month).

    I used to work for them when they closed most of the company years ago. bHS owned them then I think.

  • Had another look in the Glasgow branch today. Sadly if it had been as busy over the last twelve months as it was today, the company might not be in administration :(

    The accumulating discounts are beginning to appear - upstairs all lighting was now reduced by 50%. Elsewhere, everything was 20% off except for a few items in kitchen and dining ware, which were 30%.

    Hmm yes, but if the prices had been like they were today (50% off) they might have been that busy the rest of the year.

    Looks like the Cambridge store is about to close. Last week they had an 70% clearance. Now it's 80%. Not much left and all the fixtures and fittings are for sale. Saw a few things at lunchtime but I'm not sure if I should hold out for another week to see if they go to 90% off.
