Bedford Store-Ashburnham Road
Last Day of Trading is Sunday 21 October
Will Not give me Car Pass after this date as they have said Store is Closing on the Sunday.

Only stores that have dates at the moment are Eastbourne (Dunelm Mill) and Walton (???). No other closures have been announced yet.

They are meant to be announcing the new dates to the rest of the company on Monday but the earliest is in 4 weeks time.

I can remember from the list that the Blackpool store on Waterloo Road is one of the stores that will also be closing as a Focus but has no exact date as yet. (The one on Vicarage Lane is already on it.)

Poole Mannings Heath Focus has a big banner outside saying closing down: I saw it today. Didn't have time to go in so I don't know if there are any bargains. The place was always deserted as there is a giant B&Q nearby, which is why I liked it. Cant see Tescos buying it but maybe Wickes would?
Poole wasn't on the original list of closures.

I spoke to one of the assistants at the Guiseley store this evening.
Apparently that store is not one of the stores to be closed, but the Shipley and Keighley stores are scheduled to close.

Shipley will be closed by Christmas apparently.
He was confident that all small stock will be reduced to clear such as power tools etc, but Kitchens and the like will be redistributed to remaining stores.

Liskeard (Cornwall).

"Closing down" signs are up. No real bargains yet.

Staff believe that the store will close after Christmas, and that Homebase will be opening in the building. This branch is in newly built premises and opened only about a year ago.
