Goodbye to Debenhams
Barring a last minute intervention, Debenhams department stores are due to close finally early next year. It’s a shame, but not a surprise.
It is worth visiting them now either in store or online. There are many good quality items available with already reasonable prices discounted by (say) 20% or 30%. There’s unlikely to be fresh stock as suppliers could not be confident of being paid by the liquidator. This means you may have to compromise on things like the colour of a sheet, so it’s worth having a look as soon as possible.
Apologies that this is going to sound overly opportunistic, but it’s in everyone’s interest that existing stocks are sold. Finally, please remember to be pleasant to the staff. They lose their jobs soon after Christmas.
