Honestly, I'm surprised they lasted this long. They won't be missed.

Presumably because they offer little to nothing above anywhere else.

We would love to keep our stand-alone stores open, but the way people shop has changed, and we need to change too. Our shops inside Currys PC World are the future and there are over 300 of them across the country. They're modern. They're specialist. And we hope you'll find them easy to get to.
Rest assured there's no change whatsoever to the way you shop with us. And you can still enjoy all the same online services - next day delivery, Click & Collect and live chats with real advisors.
The next few weeks will be tough for many of our colleagues who work in the stand-alone Carphone Warehouse stores that are closing. We'll be working hard to support them through this time, including offering alternative roles wherever we can.
It's called ******
I've often wondered how all the mobile shops keep going on the high street to be honest. Even in your average dead town center you'll see an EE, O2, Vodafone, Three and Carphone shop usually with pretty much no one in them.
Average Joe public has got themselves stuck into 18-24 month contracts how often do they need to go into a mobile shop for anything apart from maybe a bit of tech support which earns said shop nothing?
Come at me, you sexy
It's the madness where they have multiple stores in the same location.
In a local retail park, there's one in a Currys and then the separate Carphone Warehouse about 100yds away. Similar stories in town centres and shopping centres.
I get that they have long leases but it feels like there could've been better solutions, even to the point of shutting them to avoid the overheads of running them!
