Toys "Я" Us... Maplins... Prezzo... New Look etc etc... wonder if HomeBase are next to do a CVA and liquidate their debts & losses!

o didn't no Prezzo gone

Homebase were bought by some Australian company a couple of years ago, so they have been revamping their product range since then resulting in loads of "end of line sales " .

They have also recently decided to close many stores , keeping just the most profitable sites - hence lots of clearance sales recently .

I thought they belonged to Sainsbury

I thought they belonged to Sainsbury

Argos were previously owned by the Home Retail Group (along with Habitat). Sainsbury's bought Argos, while Homebase was bought by Wesfarmers to be rebranded as Bunnings. Rather than it being at risk of imminent liquidation, a messy transition period is underway. Financial difficulties however, cannot be ruled out in the medium term.

Theres argos in homebase so I thought they was the same

Argos were bought by the previous umbrella group for Homebase (Home Retail Group) before the subsequent break up sale. It is all easily 'googleable' if you are interested.

Sold it in 2000

I won't be surprised if Caffè Nero start closing some stores. There are 5 of them within a 15-20 min walk around my house and I have always wondered how they made money.

Well they were up to a £25,000,000+ loss last year, so you could be right there!

Think 15 million of the 15 million & 4 shares of the chinese holding company of HOF are worth about 4p and posted another loss as well!

Maybe someone at the Express has seen this discussion thread... they are running a story about the matter Sunday!

They were owned by Sainsbury many years ago, they were sold off.

I surprised Thorntons has lasted to long

My high street is slowly emptying out. Starbucks closed in Dec 2016, the shop is still vacant. Topshop, Sports Direct, Co Op Bank, Maplin all gone. The big M&S closes on Apr 7, amongst the 5 that were announced earlier. What is interesting is 3 vape shops have opened in the last 1 year.

Ferrero bought them recently

Ferrero bought them recently

So they did, 1/4 of a billion turnover, 82 million gross profit and a net profit of 5 million, compared to a 15 million loss last year, we can safely say that they are going nowhere the liquidation plug hole!!
