With today's news that the KFC in Blackpool town centre will not reopen and the likelihood that many businesses will be going to the wall, I wonder what town centres are going to look like going forward. Blackpool was struggling even before coronavirus and Church St, which used to be the retail showpiece of the town, was just tat and charity shops.
On the positive side, I see that the Edinburgh Woollen Mill and Bon Marche chain is being bought out and revived and no doubt there will be entrepreneurs and artisans looking for an opportunity to change career when the world re-starts. But when I look at St Annes town centre, all I can see is boarded up shops. There are no retail outlets I would want to invest in.
