Usually get an inkling for this when we are told to remove certain gift cards from sale. We were told last week to remove Claire's Accessories and Mothercare from sale and remember we were told to remove New Look a couple of weeks before they announced closures

We keep being told its because of online shopping but that doesn't explain why Jamies Italian, Chimichanga Tex-Mex and Prezzo are in trouble.

And the dine in meal deals where you get three courses and a bottle of wine for a tenner

That said I don't know whether the struggle facing those chain restaurants is the same as the one facing high street retailers

What I don't get is some store are trying to save them from closing by paying cheaper rent why not pay cheaper rent in the first place

Probably because there was more competition for the premises originally and more money was being spent on the high street so landlords could charge more rent. They also probably hope that landlords could cut them some slack if they've been renting the property for years and years

....I guess if people are shopping online and not so much going to shops...that would be the time they would have something to eat also../...have lunch etc while they shop is what many have tended to do, I think...but not s9 much now..?...


...the only one I’ve been to of those is Jamie’s Italian...and I haven’t been for a long time, a few years...but the first time I went, it was a struggle to get a table it was so popular and busy...the last time I was there, it was very quiet...with chain restaurants..well with many restaurants really...there is just so much competition of new ones opening and becoming ‘the current vogue’...and on and on...so they just don’t seem to sustain their popularity with people trying new places which are constantly opening...anyway, sad though...

I think the high Street as we know it is very swiftly becoming a thing of the past. Only those stores with a strong online presence are going to survive. But even those may not all survive as fixtures in every town.

I'll never forget you Woolworths!
