I worked in a store in the Arndale for over 10 years;every time a unit closed I asked if we could try to get a big name in;the answer was always no because of the demographics;meaning the town isn't big enough or wealthy enough to support the likes of Next,River Island,Bhs etc.It's pretty obviously the case if you have a look around,Accrington folk are struggling to make ends meet let alone buy high street brands.Now why do we think Wilkinsons is a runaway success????
