And Next On The List ....... House Of Fraser
Another one that has not moved with the times, the majority of their customer base is most likely dead by now.
Never associate with idiots on their own level, because, being an intelligent man, you'll try to deal with them on their level - and on their level they'll beat you every time.
Being hated by idiots is the price you pay for not being one of them.

A rocky ride ahead for Homebase. Wesfarmers have given up on their bad purchase and sold it to a restructuring specialist for £1. It is likely the Bunnings stores will be rebranded back to Homebase with probable job losses and store closures. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-44248409
