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

I thought they'd already announced they were?

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

I doubt your average retail manager has any real grasp of the companies liquidity quite frankly

/shrug. Gawd knows!

He basically mentioned something about DSG having a lot of cash etc. But it's no lie that the share price has NEVER been lower...10p or so. But Xmas is still stupidly busy and i'm always run off my feet with customers...so there is a lot of interest, hmm.

To be fair, i don't mind if i lose my job.

Give it a week or two, you may be able to purchase the company with it.

Hope game goes under not that it's likely, could pick up some dirt cheap 360's then.

I doubt the DSG or Debenhams will go out of business. Can't seeing it being a good period for Habitat who basically get powned in every way by Ikea

I know I mean last year the Glasgow store done a meagre £2million the week coming to xmas and it matched it again this year with all the mental sales they've been doin....they'll be fine

Also Game are in a good position as they dont really have any competition on the market....they OWN Gamestation! They kept the brands apart due to the customers each attract!

sure why not? only kids work there anyway

gamesworkshop or GAME are going down!

Know a store manager of Gamestation, heard on the grapevine that they will be looking to shut the Gamestation stores after Xmas, and keep Game going, even through some of the Gamestations are bringing in more money then the Game stores in the same area. Stayed open for Xmas as it is a big income for them.
