Au naturale closing down

daisy1111

I spoke to the manager of the merry hill store today and apparently they have now been brought out so the sale will be stopping and prices returning to normal..... so GRAB IT WHILE YOU CAN!!!

I am having a wee panic as I paint and I get pretty much all my blank canvases from the two local(ish) Au Naturale stores (I can't seem to beat the prices as most online places with good deals charge a fortune to deliver here). Does anyone have privvy knowledge to know whether the Dingwall or Inverness stores are shutting, pretty please? Or are they all staying open now?

I was actually on the way to the Inverness store yesterday to stock up (just in case) when my head gasket went on my car! :doh: If they are closing or there are very good bargains to be had then I'm willing to do the 2-3hr (round trip) train / bus journey to stock up (I can see me needing a couple of extra seats for the bags, can't you? :exclamati)

Hi
I was in the Corby branch yesterday, they had up to 50% posters all over the windows, but the assistant told me to make the most of it as all the prices are going back up again!!! She could not tell me why.

prices are going back up, not on all of the lines though, there are still some reductions.
the closing down posters will be coming down and the sale will end at close of trade on monday (for those stores that are staying open).
any stores that have jewellery are now selling that at half price as we are no longer going to have that instore.

yip, definitely make the most of it before we catch up on the workload and get the orange stickers peeled off! the more we sell now the less we have to peel off:rotfl:

Apparently (I read this in the Manchester Evening News today) they are being taken over by the boss of MK One who has also just taken over Ethel Austin. They are to be kept as is stocking Au Naturale products.

Good news - from today everything in store 50% off last ticket price. So, box oil paints was £10.00 marked down to £3.99 paid £2.00.

Stuff going fast though.
