Grossly over priced clothing...

Good point /

It sounds like they are going to review their entire store portfolio.

One just very minor observation that may point towards
laxness on costs- if you get a seasonal job working at MKS,
you are given a 20% discount card on your first day - working for John Lewis
that takes 2 years to qualify for, not even sure if the max even goes up
to 20% at JL.

Now for MKS permanent staff well fair enough, its a job perk, but for
seasonal temporary staff that is just ridiculous imv.

If that is the way the rest of their costs are managed no wonder things could be better.

Another CR profit warning.

Well said harebridge.

Careful just heard on SKY, BHS have until friday or its curtains.

Hardly RIP harebridge, the company just needs to concentrate on what sells well and cut out the dead wood. My nearest MKS is at Hedge End and the floor space taken up by women's clothing is far too big compared to the rest of the store, they could cut that by half and make the food hall larger.

too many retailers.
there must be a limit to how many can survive.
even BHS will survive as a cheap outlet it seems.

Primark and the net have killed off B&M retailers.

How many mind the gap headlines have there been, more than a few )

I was in Guildford yesterday afternoon and the town was very quiet indeed.

At least MKS have food.

Swap Next for M&S, says Peel Hunt

‘Next forecasts will fall… and we don’t see a change in the momentum in the shares either, even if they do trade at a discount to the sector. Until the earnings per share stabilises, it is worth switching out of Next, into, amongst others, its chief peer M&S, where recovery is beginning.’
