Heavy discounts" have been introduced at the doomed retailer, with administrators warning some branches may close imminently.]

I'm not surprised really. I've always thought their stores were rather lifeless, like a drab warehouse. Not to mention, you can get what they sell for much cheaper elsewhere.

Feel bad for the workers though.

i heard that even their now heavily discounted items are being undercut still by competitors. All those employed by the company will lose their jobs, no-one will take that mess on as an ongoing concern
