    Focus Woking: 10% off everything in store but other markdowns too, such as further 10% off all lighting.
  • Dumfries has signs up saying closing down. But staff advise that it is to become a Wickes.

    Friday was 10% of everything.

    Some of the screws, nails etc. had stickers marking them down by about 50%, but nothing much else that I could see, apart from a few lawn mowers etc. Maybe "own brand" stuff to be cleared?

    Cheers,

    Sorry it's a bit later than planned...

    All stores are to sell all stock, fixtures and fittings without moving it to other stores (except in exeptional circumstances).

    Stores changing to Homebase (All meant to be completed by Xmas):-

    Warwick, Kidderminster, Keighley, Stafford, Bedford, Cardiff, Swindon, Towcester, Oswestry, Bodmin, Woking, Blackpool (The green one!), Nottingham (Ex Great Mills one), Liskeard, St Albans, Castleford, Willerby, Macclesfield, Formby, Mannings Heath, Redruth, Weston, Evesham, Yoevil, Horwich, Tamworth & Stockport.

    Stores changing to Wickes (Unknown completion at this time but target of End Jan '08 still stands):-

    Glossop, Mansfield, Penrith, Bulwell, Plumstead, Dumfries & Hereford.

    Stores closing and changing to Well Known supermarkets:-

    Lincoln, Flint, Shipley, Nottingham (Ex DIA), Bromley, Stamford & Crowborough.

    All stores should have been displaying Store Closing POS as of last week.

    Main discount is also meant to be changing in all stores from 10% to 15% off so keep an eye out!

    presumably there are other stores who are just closing and have not been sold, as mine (Poole) isnt listed?

    Of the original 52 stores that were announced back at the beggining of the thread, only 12 of them where sold in that batch of stores that I listed.

    Wakefield has now closed. Eastbourne went this weekend.

    You will find that your store in Poole is referred to being changed to a Homebase "Mannings Heath" is the one in Poole, as it is located on Mannings Heath Road as you drive to Tower Park
  • Sorry - has Eastbourne already shut? I've been following this thread waiting for the discounts but it looks like I missed it! Oh Dear!
