If experiance is to go by, you'll be lucky.... the one in Southampton closed down end of August last year, and it was 50% off selected items (selected meaning tat). All remaining stock was shipped to other stores!

Maybe, but when the Monks Cross store closed 2 ys ago in York, i managed to get lots of childrens clothes for 10 + 20p, this included coats and shoes, so be on the lookout and report back please!

Thanks

yes, it's certainly looking that way.Their shares are worth nothing.All they have is the fact that the stores are in prime locations.My O.H works for them and business has been terrible as they charge too much for stuff that you can generally get in places like wilkinson much cheaper.

we will not be getting any work wear anymore apart from safetu boots!

and there are other things we do do anymore:D

all this to save money yet we have more managers(SOMS,SLS AND TCS.) per staff than any other company:mad:

Thanks for the info. I didn't know this. Wonder if there will be many bargains or will they move the stuff elsewhere. Would be interested if you keep me posted. Life just over 30 minutes away and would come to Braehead if there were some real bargains to be had. Might be worth a trip on 26th. Great that this is a Saturday so I could go.

I hope we get a Wilko in York. The vacant Woolies store would be ideal.
