hey, I know its already on the list, but local radio is advertising the Bristol Brislington store is closing down and 'massive discounts to be had' or something. Wont be sad to see them go, over priced and usually not got what you want. Shame the Fishponds one isnt closing, that's just a depressing little store....

Not sure if this has been posted already.....

Swindon (Greenbridge Retail Park) will be closed by December 22nd.

Store is being replaced by Homebase who have taken on all staff.

Great to see some staff are keeping their jobs.

In response to the same question you posted last week on the other thread, I'll give the same answer :rolleyes:

Sheffield No Frills in the City Centre doesn't have a date for Closure yet but it will be closing. It currently is offering 10% to 50% off normal prices.

Sheffield Crystal Peaks is not closing and is only offering the standard Focus offers.

Okay - last day at Evesham store on Wednesday (tomorrow). I can't make it but when Warwick shut it was 90% from the off at 8am. Worth a trip me thinks!
