I went to Liskeard today, hardly anything left apart from tiles and paint, but I did 'reserve' a chandalier for my new flat
They said closure date is Christmas Eve, I felt sorry for staff, rubbish time of year to lose jobs.Previous debt: £14K :embarasse Debt free: Sept '03MFW#42 Mortgage OP savings £4271.18/£12000 2019

Its good for the staff, dont forget that not all the store staff will be transfering to new employers. Its already starting to have a knock on effect at the distribution centre. Its good if people can grab some bargains but some staff will lose their jobs due to this!
Unfortunately Focus have always been very overpriced and carried a poor range. You have to try harder when the competition is streets ahead of you.British Ex-pat in British Columbia!0 -

I was in the Bracknell branch yesterday and they have a sign up saying '9 days until the store closes' which makes it around the 17/12 although i doubt they will have any stock in there by then as they we already dismanteling the shelves and had taped off parts of the shop. They were also taking an additional 46% off the total price at the till and this was after the already discounted price
eg a bag of nails would normally cost £1.29, they rang through the till at 23p (not sure how they come to this price) then they take 46% off making it about 12p.0 -
