The recession is difficult enough for them, but they...

Re: Recession List 2009!!

I'm not opposed to out of town hyper-markets, just when they're sited within spitting distance of small businesses, who can't compete on price, because of the size, and therefore buying power, of the...

Re: Recession List 2009!!

Re: Recession List 2009!!

It'll be an even sadder walk through the town for him, when there's only one very big store left.

Re: Recession List 2009!!

I was told today that Buy-the-House has closed it's sales offices on Little Blackburn Road, in Accrington.

Bye bye the house, despite as rather odd article in this weekend's Observer, trying to...

Re: Recession List 2009!!

The one closing down in the Arcade is just that unit...I think.

It's the shop opposite, selling catalogue seconds, which uses all the other shops in the Arcade as storage.

It used to be really...

Re: Recession List 2009!!

Re: Recession List 2009!!

Sadly H.B.C.'s performance lends itself more to the former, rather than the latter.

I fear that unless you can afford my consultancy fees you'll have to remain in ignorance of my ideas.;)

Re: Recession List 2009!!

Thanks eagle-eyed Dave.

That wasn't all clear from where I was stood in the doorway of M & S.

A clever (sneaky) marketing ploy.
