BooHoo buys all Debenhams brands and website but all shops set to close.



This is devastating news for the High Street as Debenhams was an anchor store just like John Lewis was and which drew other stores in to an arcade or shopping centre.

Separately, fellow online fashion retailer Asos has confirmed it is in talks to buy the the Topshop, Topman, Miss Selfridge and HIIT brands from Sir Philip Green's collapsed Arcadia empire. Simon again:Bosses said a deal would represent a "compelling opportunity to acquire strong brands that resonate well with its customer base".However, they warned that there can be no certainty of a transaction, and any acquisition would be funded from cash reserves. ..

Online fashion giant Boohoo has bought the Debenhams brand for £55m in a move that will result in the closure of its remaining bricks-and-mortar stores. Boohoo will relaunch the department store as an online-only operation from next year, but the deal will not include saving Debenhams' shops, which will close for good as part of a winding down of the business.The update will come as a huge blow to the 10,000 Debenhams staff employed at its retail sites. ...

Maybe not saving the planet as real underlying consideration is Over population. The Population Explosion is happening.Not an easy one.

I wonder if it would be the end of the world (global warming)
if India became meat eating?
Is India literally saving the planet?

QANTAS

Good morning and to robot when he posts.

Interesting new twist on Top Shop, the Issa brothers who own ASDA "gate crash Top Shop bidding war"



Little wonder NEXT have pulled out as the price will increase due to competition for the brands.

If I was a betting man I suspect the ISSA brothers could well be the highest bidder. If they did manage to obtain the brands I suspect most of the stores would close in the ARCADIA group but that would be the same if ASOS purchased the brands.

If however a foreign buyer emerges as the winner they may take on more stores and the administrators will have to consider that also as well as balancing the best deal for the creditors.

The U.K. needs to earn its livingJANUARY 23, 2021 6 COMMENTSThe answers I have been  getting from DEFRA are worrying. They show no sense of urgency to use our new freedoms to promote more growing and rearing home grown food. They are not standing up for U.K. interests in interpreting the Trade Agreement with the EU. They are not bringing forward early plans to raise our fishing capacity or to expand our market gardening areas.The thrust of policy seems to be to wilding our landscape instead of farming it better.There are too many proposed grants for so called environmental gains and not enough for food production. Many of us want  to slash the food mikes, employ more U.K. people and enjoy more good U.K. produced food.That  means extending the season for vegetables and soft fruit with more glasshouses and polytunnels. It means working  with the food manufacturing industry to put more U.K. produce into imaginative meals and good recipes for ready meals. It means strong U.K. branding.I see some of the supermarkets understand U.K. consumer wishes. Many fresh food items have the Union flag on. None carry the EU, Spanish or Dutch flags. Let's go one  step further and have  a farming policy which delivers us more great British food. The world does not owe us a living and it is not  good to be so dependent on overseas supply of things we can grow for ourselves... John Redwood

I like the 2 Steaks for £8...
Thanks for the "heads up"..

So much top quality meat about
Produced for the restaurant trade which is, of course, non existant.

Good for the shopper though.
