    I spoke to a member of staff as to why they were ceasing, they mentioned it was due to the amount of stock which was stolen daily in the shop was costing them to much money. I guess thats why the original entrance had been closed leaving only one entrance/exit. They couldnt afford to pay a security man during the day either.

    So indirectly probably recession if people cant afford food, but I would suspect not.

    Well I heard something quite different from a high-up member of staff ;)
