Republic sale, everything must go

  • I reckon you may be correct in the fact there stuff doesn't seem to sell these days I used to buy FCUK all the time but not now, I have other priority s and the stuff isn't the same quality as before. It's a real shame I feel for the people working in these stores...
  • Most of the stuff in my local store is still priced at more than I would pay for it..! Seeing as nothing can be taken back etc as well, I'm too indecisive to want to spend money in there. Got the OH one pair of jeans, lets hope he likes them....

    The maximum discounts I found was 30% only. I am after few jeans but I feel sorry for the people working there.

    Not much discount in my local shop especially considering you can't return anything for a refund, only exchange.

    I don't think this will be the last clothing store to go bust. Who will be next?

    Jane Norman are closing all their stores in Scotland and Ireland I was informed a few weeks ago but can't seem to see anything about it online.

    Real shame for Republic - although garment quality has been mixed of late. Had a large outlet space in my nearest decent shopping centre so that will leave a massive space to fill there - and French Connection has recently closed nearby too. Difficult times.

    I was advised at Metrocentre store to hang onto them as it is temporary and once they have a buyer they will be able to accept them again.

    What happens if they don't find a buyer? I think that I'd be spending the vouchers now.

    You can't spend them now - they won't accept them until they have a buyer.

    To me it doesn't make sense as gift vouchers are paid for already so they have received cash but no one has actually received any goods for it?
