House of Fraser - Administration

It looks like House of Fraser couldn’t save itself by closing stores, another high street staple likely to disappear.

Wonder if the lazy folk being laid off will purchase their flatscreen TVs in the closing down sales?

Shops are indistinguishable. Same with Debenhams

3 buyers interested though. The bloke that owns Edinburgh Woolen Mill, Mike Ashley and Chinese apparently. This will just be part of the sale.

If Ashley buys it the stock will be liquidated and sold in USC or under another company name.

Can't stand department stores. Horrible mazes with tiny ranges.

To reliant on high interest store cards imo. Like most department stores it's always been just a tick shop. People can now get 0% interest credit cards and keep moving the debt around when the deal is up. This means folk can shop elsewhere rather than be restricted to sticking something on a store card. Debenhams will go the same route.
