What company is next to go bust?

Ricochet J · 25 Dec 2008 at 13:20

I reckon it'll be JJB sports. Their shares are dirt cheap. They have clearance sales everywhere. And they're closing 72 stores nationwide which will make 500 people unemployed.

Merry Christmas.

I agree. The sales they have on at the min are ridiculous.

Sportsworld are even worse i thought? Madhouse are going as well, surely?

it's easy look at a shop and if they still look and sell the same things they did 15 years ago the chance our they are going down. I'm surprised Woolworth lasted as long as they did.

They would never be in trouble with their cheap overheads and reasonably priced products.

I work for DSG and the manager said DSG have a lot of cash, so we'll be okay.

What ever happens, we are going to see the full force of this reccession very soon, the next few months after xmas are going to be pretty rough times for the retail industry

Pretty sure that Officers Club (clothing store) is next. Haven't they just closed like 300 stores?
