    Our local radio station Fox FM is running ads for the final closing down of the Banbury store.

    do you know when it closes please krispiiduck?
  • Keighley store now down to '2 days left'. Everything 80% off. Some stock left but not a massive amount, unless you want polyfilla and sprayable fence paint.

    My loca store says UP TO 30% or 40% off on products like curtain rails but if you check the prices they are all still only the basic 15% sotre discount off.

    Looks like a hell of a lot of false to not very clear posters about % off.

    The local radio stations have been advertising closure of the Cannock and Telford branch.

    There is 15% off everything and certain things have 40% off (ie. flooring accessories) and some have 50% off (ie. locks, door accessories and a few others)
  • hi

    Any updates on the Cardiff store (Newport Road)..?
    :dance: That window's cracked on both sides!!
  • Anyone know the status of the Waterlooville store?
    Last time i was there, a couple of weeks ago, it was 15% off.
    I'm guessing as they have Christmas stock, they won't be closing till sometime in the New year.

    I was in there Monday and it was still only 15% off.

    I wanted to get a bath screen but the one I wanted was an ex-display one with no box/fittings, yet they would still only give me 15% off the full price. :rolleyes: No wonder they are closing.
