I posted this last week on the other thread:-

The closures that are meant to be happening at the end of January are no longer happening apart from one store (The won't tell us which one!). All closures that have a specific date are going ahead (except Shipley and Lincoln) (edit: S!!!!horpe No Frills closure also delayed) but those that are down as end of January will not be happening.

All the Focus stores with no date have had orders raised for certain lines to help tide them over until the end of March. All the remainder No Frills stores have just turned ordering back on and have been asked to only order key lines (Paint, Brushes, Lightbulbs etc).
