Zavvi placed into administration

Lets just hope OcUK can survive as I will be gutted if we lost the store and these forums.

 

[Lysander]

Wal-Mart, however, is.

You're annoying.

 

[Cookie-Monster]

I doubt that. Tesco is a huge multinational organisation. Asda isn't.

Asda = Wal-Mart

I'm sure they wouldn't be creating new positions / director positions if they were struggling.

I'm buying shares in Ernst & Young, they've never been so busy.

would have thought de la rue could be a good option with so many governments 'printing' their way out of trouble.

It was no surprise, their main supplier is Entertainment UK (owned by Woolworths) - it's no reflection on their retail performance.

You're annoying.

Do you not like being wrong? You do it so often

Heard about this a few weeks back, apparently Woolworths distribution company (I forget their name, something beginning with "e") were one of the only suppliers willing to deal with Zavvi. The end of Woolworths was the end of Zavvi.

Good luck with that, they're a limited liability partnership.

You're annoying.

Why? Because he pointed out that you are a noob?

Hilariously, Woolworths was another major client of ours. We won the contract in September.

We've been told that it ends in January 2009.

Great timing, guys!

 

[Gaijin]

Thing is, certainly up until the point I left, Entertainment UK were/are supplying Tesco as well.

 

[Russinating]

Glad I bought an HMV gift card the other day and not a Zavvi one...

I won't rise to that. As a side note though, I hope your turkey has herpes.

More glad then ever I don't work in retail.

Entertainment UK.

 

[SiD the Turtle]

D'oh! They did good prices on pre-orders.

 

[clv101]

Agreed.

Walmart could snap Tesco like a carrot.

Can't really belittle Tesco like that. Yes Walmart are number one, but Tesco are world number four and growing faster than Walmart.

Tesco has a net income of £2.13bn compared to Walmart's $12.73 (£8.66bn). No one's about to be snapped!

 

[Nymins]

Pity. Kinda liked Zavvi, didn't last long.
