I noticed that Clares were closed yesterday, apparently in preparation for a £647,259 stock clearance that begins today.

We've just been and spent money in there, quality goods at bargain prices, hence it's busy in there, worth a look!

THE recession has hit several stores in Colwyn Bay as the town has lost three prominent shops in the town centre with another closing in March.

Peacock’s on the corner of Station Road and Conway Road is also under threat as the national chain faces administration.
Last week Dorothy Perkins’ and Burtons’ shared store in the Bay View centre closed, as has the Arkwright’s discount shopping store on Penrhyn Road, as well as Linney Cooper carpet and upholstery cleaners on Abergele Road. Linney Cooper’s Craig-y-Don shop will remain open.

Home Curtains and Bedding on Sea View Road, managed from Manchester, is also holding a closing down sale before shutting in March.

I thought superbowl was finally done for as I walked past tonight and it was all closed up.
However a sign told me they had just closed for their 'christmas' party  $good$

Fashion retailer New Look is closing 10% of its outlets, equating to about 60 shops.

Bon Marche has been quickly sold off by the administrators in charge of Peacocks.

A private equity firm has bought it, and instantly announced that approx 40% of the stores will close!
More here.

No, I've got my best men working on finding out...  :laugh:

Caffe Nero is edging closer, I'm looking forward to going there when it opens.

We went in Millets this morning and the stocks are looking increasingly depleated. The shop front/window area has been closed off altogether. We also went to Bangor this afternoon where Bonne Marche was showing a closing down sale not evident in the Llandudno Branch windows. The shop previously siting Past Times is also being painted etc. If I was a betting man ....I would say Millets or Past Times swap for Trespass is a distinct maybe.

Past Times is to be Country Casuals and a Viyella outlet (according to the signs that went up this afternoon).

Maybe Millets might end up being a Trespass, time will tell..
