Laying off upto 4000 people. Is the High street doomed for ever.
I think WH Smith survives on it's train station and hospital shops.I don't see how armageddon in the high street can be avoided. Few were visiting the shops even before the pandemic. Boots is a good example. Huge premises, high prices and nobody in the store. WH Smith is another business with massive stores full of stock that nobody wants.
What people forget is that high street shops are a conduit for other leisure activities- bars, restaurants, cafes, cinemas, theatres etc
Take shops away and there are less reasons to support other businesses. A vacant high street means less value in a location which means lower house prices which means major issues for the millions of homeowners in the U.K. The high street needs government and local council support.
What the hell is a chaz shop?How long before Hounds Hill is full of chaz shops.
Chaz = Charity.What the hell is a chaz shop?
The the average high street, as maybe 2/3 clothes shops or 1/2 high-fi shops. The internet has millions.And don't forget once the high street has gone forever the internet 'bargains' won't be bargains for much longer as the prices go up n up
I await the drastic fall in prices then yipeeThe the average high street, as maybe 2/3 clothes shops or 1/2 high-fi shops. The internet has millions.
I would seriously miss it, maybe it’s more of a pastime for females.The whole day out shopping and having coffee is good for the soul for some of us.What people forget is that high street shops are a conduit for other leisure activities- bars, restaurants, cafes, cinemas, theatres etc
