yes, it's a pretty sad state of affairs, and they won't be the only ones. It's just a matter of time until the majority of large high street stores bite the dust.

Soon they'll be zero retail stores as everything is online .
Just imagine high streets with nothing but betting shops , takeaways and bars .

Yes sad day for the stores that will close,
next year.

[The House of Fraser stores identified for closure:

Altrincham • Aylesbury • Birkenhead • Birmingham • Bournemouth • Camberley • Cardiff • Carlisle • Chichester • Cirencester • Cwmbran • Darlington • Doncaster • Edinburgh Frasers • Epsom • Grimsby • High Wycombe • Hull • Leamington Spa • Lincoln • London Oxford Street • London King William Street • Middlesbrough • Milton Keynes • Plymouth • Shrewsbury • Skipton • Swindon • Telford • Wolverhampton • Worcester]

Very surprised the Oxford Street store is going

I've never actually been to a House of Fraser, always talk about going to the Manchester store at Christmas and never do. Maybe this year.

Now when you go into a shop and if they don't have what you're looking for ,I think even the retail staff themselves are telling you to search online :facepalm: . Despite it putting them out of business :rolleyes: .

Oop brexit

No this has been on cards for many years
long before Brexit.

the reason forn this is that the stores are sh1t and they are stuck in the past

its not rocket science to visit one and see they are finished
