Norphy Posted April 22 Posted April 22 I'm surprised they're still going at all, to be honest. Tat bazzars like Temu must be having them for lunch.
Arthur Posted May 22 Posted May 22 (edited) TL;DR. Loss-making McColl's stores that became loss-making Morrisons Daily stores will close. 🤦♂️ Link: Morrisons to close 100 stores across the UK putting hundreds of jobs at risk Quote Morrisons is reportedly set to close 100 stores across the UK, in a move that could cost hundreds of jobs. Affected stores, which are all Morrisons Daily branches, are expected to shut over the next few months, with the supermarket looking to move employees to other stores “where possible.” The news comes despite convenience being an area of targeted growth by the retailer, with CEO Rami Baitiéh setting the aim of opening hundreds of Morrisons Daily stores over the next few years. Mr Baitiéh is said to still be looking to open hundreds more convenience stores in the coming years. According to reports, the stores set to close are the “most challenged” Morrisons Daily locations and were loss-making. All were former McColl’s stores which were converted to Morrisons locations after they were bought up by the supermarket in 2022. Mr Baitiéh is said to still be committed to his convenience growth strategy, despite the closures, with the vast majority of new openings to be franchise stores. Edited May 22 by Arthur

Garacesh Posted July 24 Posted July 24 (edited) Deserved for canning Gamestation tbh. Clearly the superior store. Always felt like the folk in GS were actually interested in games whereas GAME was 'just another retail job'. I can't say I'm surprised though, everything's gone digital distribution these days. Heck I bought Split/Fiction the other week and even that was just code in a box. Edited July 24 by Garacesh 1
MrEprise Posted July 24 Posted July 24 We started off with a branch of Future Zone which back in the day, had the same vibe as Gamestations had. I felt like I was on first name terms with all the staff that worked there, plus the store manager was a family friend from years before. Then it became Electronics Boutique. The staff were there for a few more years until they started messing things up and the workers I knew had gone elsewhere. Then it became a Game and it just wasn't the same. Around that time, we also had a Gamestation open up and it felt just like the Future Zone we used to have. Always super busy as well compared to Game which was often almost empty. Then the inevitable happened and we lost our Gamestation and the really nice staff that worked there.
