Aye i know the company has been having difficult times Jaysay, they'd said previously they were going to be staying open in Accy though, but looks like they arn't taking enough through that shop. Guess it doesn't help them when you can get certain of their products at almost half price in Asda!!

Best Regards - Taggy

And online Taggy, I buy them quite a lot, because they do a lot of gluten free stuff which is very handy

Time to resurrect this thread due to the problems at Game. Notice on Gamestation window says store now closed.

Which charity shop will open up there ?

It might end up being a virtual charity shop, you walk in select the program you want and it takes on the appearance of your favourite charity shop, complete with your ideal selection of second hand goods.

Well we've had 2 more charity shops opened within last couple of weeks, what's 1 more between friends. Maybe Maundy could take it on, get themselves on Accy's main thoroughfare, spread their word, just in case someone visiting our thriving shopping town hasn't heard of them. Come on HBC pull yer heads from you know where & strive to get some decent shops into Accy, make it worth peoples time venturing into town to 'shop'.

I thought it was Game that had gone into administration......not Gamestation.

strange how game has shut down and not gamestation seen as game bought out gamestation.I bet the owner of game and gamestation buys game back at a reduced cost or some other huge legal fiddle or other.

game bought gamestation but will probably have kept the books etc as two seprate companies so one can go beankrupt whiel the other continues to trade.All the money goes into one pot eventually but on paper they are two spereate companies they just have the same owner.

i havnt heard if gamestation has shut for buisness i am just assuming its still open as i havnt heard different only just that game went bust

Gamestation has closed, but Game...just a few steps across Broadway, is open....for now.
I didn't realise they were the same company.

Also said that shops that were close together were being rationalised - presumably when the second company was bought there were lots of places with shops of each company. probably why they went bust - should have done that sooner.

We don't have a Gamestation in Blackburn anymore, that shut down about 2 years ago, we have a Game and A Game Exchange

Game in Blackburn has closed, sign on window saying nearest store is Accrington.
