Who'll Be Next To Go, after Woolworths?

[Lilly]

I see that Adams clothes shop for children has closed in Accrington.

There was a sign saying permanently closed in the window today.

That didn't take long.

Where can you buy children's clothes in Accy now? There's Asda and a small section in Marks and Spencer and I think that's it.

Peacocks have a small selection, ethel austins (but not over keen on their stuff) and other that the bits you can get on the market and theres kids connection on peel street, cant think of anywhere else though, which is a pain in erm bum really.

Am gutted Adams has gone though, that was the only decent kids clothes shop remaining

I know a place that does childrens t-shirts on Accy Market, designer ones too

From knowledge of the industry - I believe Card Warehouse have gone and 50% of its stores are being taken by Card Factory, Birthdays are having a big rationalisation and Clintons will be next to feel the pinch

So the children won't be without their t-shirts then.......but where in Accy can we buy the rest of their clothes? Underwear, trousers, jumpers, dresses, skirts, coats, socks etc?

Accy is going to be a ghost town very soon at this rate, retail industry is in a very bad way & the knock on effect is definately being felt, will be finding our fate very shortly but means more work with less staff as hrs are to be cut for the lucky ones still in work this month.

[Stanleymad]

JJb are closing the accy branch as i heard but is the ripples of possiblity of them going bust soon.

[Stanleymad]

Also trouble is once shops start going & units become empty its going to be very hard for businesses & other retail outfits to be attracted to moving into the town, so more units staying empty as there weren't enough empty to start with. People who can will go to either neighbouring bigger towns to shop, less money to the town higher unemployment, crime & depravity of empty units leading to vandalism etc, those who cant are stuck with little choice & higher prices. I think HBC really need to step in as well as local gov.

Accy is dying a death as a town

[magpie]

I hope they don't let the town go further than it is..... we used to have a lot going for us: but I guess its pretty much the same for a lot of other towns..... sign of the times and all that: where will it all end:

It now seems that M & S are struggling as are Next, who's profits were down last year by 7%, its been announced that M & S are to shed 1000 jobs
