    I was working for a financial company a number of years back and they were bought out.
    While the buying company had a huge project on, where they were refitting all the branch offices - and the planning had been going on a year and they'd started .....

    I had a secret project to close down all the branches of the company who had been bought out ... and a few of the other branches - including 2 that had been refitted the week before.

    Sometimes things are so long in the pipeline that you can't just stop them.
  • They sometimes open stores on short term leases then close and move to another location. They've recently opened one in Maidstone that is due to close straight after Xmas.

  • Freeport at Fleetwood, Lancashire have a Works and if you use a VIP card (order from http://www.freeport-fleetwood.com/vip/) you get a further 10% discount. Card can be used at a number of stores at Freeport - any that display the VIP sign in the window. Cannot be used at Next, Marks & Spencers and the Hallmark shop. Also some shops will not accept card when a sale is on. It is always worth asking though.
