From their website & news it says all.. no surprise really after leaving the EU

I think they all ended up in partnership with sainsbury's
all of them, the original stores were sold to Asda years ago, the current ones are a joint venture with Sainsburys
Only 6 months ago there was an announcement to "open 10 new Netto stores in UK":

Indeed you are 100% correct. I had forgotten that their last venture into the UK was bought up by Asda?
Go on we give in (_;)
Yes, that's all the UK stores.
Netto I would say!
Just less than 2 weeks, did anyone expect the citizens of UK wanted to exit the EU? It did as I was as who would know what the future holds. It's very clear the retailers are already adjusting their business policies to adapt to this uncertain economic climate with cut backs & offloading extra overheads to protect their main core business to stay afloat.
I would have dismissed that as hyperbole, had I not been searching for more info on the story and found this.

So in May, they were going to announce in November what they were going to do. Something happened in the meantime. Could have been Brexit, could be something else.
Sainsburys wanted to buy Argos before the comment made above, in May.
I've just filled two trolleys with all branded stuff for £63
I don't know if it's Brexit or not, but it's a legitimate question.
I'm in there now, it's bedlam

I know!!
Sounds horrendous:

I'm guessing there's nothing left worth a journey. oO
The issue there seemed to be that it isn't set up like Lidl/Aldi, to whip ppl through the tills- everyone had to pack their shopping at the till. As everyone had a big trolley full, it took ages, with queues that blocked the aisles and took ages to move. Tbh, even though ppl were fraught, there was a good sense of camaraderie, with ppl helping each other out with locating and passing stuff to others, but I wasn't half glad to get out! No intention of going back today either
Love that
Doesnt make sense it closed due to Brexit. As surely if people supposedly have less money then the budget stores would be more needed. Aldis,Lidls are thriving. maybe its due to those stores than Brexit.
It is hull ..
Lincoln was closed early today due to run out of stock.
Yeah I saw that yesterday and thought there wasn't any point. Would only fear for my life, I know how nasty shoppers can get.
This site? Oh, wait a minute it's green.
It rained today where i live certain people would have you believe that was caused by Brexit too
I don't think we've started the process. And takes 2 years to be out of it. You never know Theresa May could see sense and not invoke article 50.
Thanks, this saves me a trip. Not worth fighting people for :-)
You'd hope so, wouldn't you. I see the Tata Steel sale's yet another Brexit casualty - a self-inflicted wound by a lot of the less intelligent workers.
Brexit uncertainty
In a statement Tata said it had considered the bids for the UK business in detail and that they had also been reviewed "in the light of the uncertainties caused by the UK referendum and the outcome of the UK Government's consultation on the British Steel Pension scheme."
It added: "Taking the above issues into account, the Board of Tata Steel has decided to also look at alternative and more sustainable portfolio solutions for the European business."
