With the recent collapse of Comet and HMV, what will be next to go?
Blockbusters must be up there? Clintons are on the way out too aren't they? And I'd love to know how Wimpy still manage to keep going. Never ever seen any more than about 3-4 customers in the one in Welling.

had the same conversation with a few mates in the pub the other day, Blockbusters came up there too, I know they don't just rent video's / dvd's now, but they must surely be struggling somewhat and been effected by sky/internet0

I've heard that Francis Chappel's business is dying...0

I reckon C & A and Woolworths will be the next to go.
Bought my Crombie in C & A with my first month's wages in October 1971.

Wimpy do everything in pence too. Definitely something fishy going on.0

A good way to gauge this is how many email offers you get from companies and the offers.
I have seen a big increase in email offers from many of the shops that have gone under.

Blockbusters, GAME and longer down the line WH Smiths, no need for them now what with eBooks, iTunes and being able to download whole games onto PS3's and XBOX's0

I've edited one post. Please be aware not to say anything potentially libellous about a company, ta.0

WHSmith-rubbish shop. Used to be so good but now it seems to be living on borrowed time.0

WHSmiths must be struggling. Although you can't get e-sellotape, yet.0

Most WH Smith shops are in stations, airports, service stations etc so they must make a fair bit of money from those0
-
Wimpy is effectively a franchise business. Their units will be leased out to franchise owners.0

You can reckon to often pay a higher price in WHS than elsewhere.BansteadAddick said:WHSmith-rubbish shop. Used to be so good but now it seems to be living on borrowed time.

Do question the mentality of some companies in opening units that are clearly not going to work.
WH Smith opened a unit opposite Cannon St a few months ago, i laughed when i saw it and thought i wonder how long this will last as it is never going to work. It's position is just wrong, and its frontage (like @DaveMehmet), is particularly uninviting.
I've barely seen anyone go in there over the past few months.0 -
i know they are restaurants and not shops but any one of the indian restaurants up sidcup high street - there are hundreds of them with nobody in0
-
Yeah i never understand why restaurants do that. Opposite the Three Blackbirds at Blendon there was a perfectly decent curry house (Saggor) and then about 3 years ago, another one opened 2-3 doors away. They're both still there but surely the newer one could've found a better spot.0

It seems that Tesco won't be happy until they put every independent shop (let alone competitor supermarkets) out of business.
Forget crackpot dictators - Tesco could one day rule the world.
Nailed on. FACT!

pretty sure wimpy is a frenchfries. the company went down the bog years ago. you can tell this by the crazy prices they charge in woolwich. bit off topic but felt gutted when the woolwich pie n mash shop went. rubbish food but just felt right it being there.0
-
Same as the one next to my office - you can't get through the door before you are asked why you are there !
Don't see many people buying stuff though and margins must be very low.0 -
