But usually not.

Google the location of the stores to get their addresses. Then go on to the Land Registry portal. Any leases over 7 years duration are registrable so you can download copies - including duration, rents, break options etc. Occasionally landlord’s designate some of the information as exempt from registration, it usually not.

I didn’t say it was doomed because it has 4000 employees - but Munichmann painted that as a positive. I think it is doomed because it’s shops are empty, it has far too many of them, the terms are too long, the rents are too high, the stores are too big, they are in expensive locations, hardly anyone is visiting them, they are stacked to the gills with stock no one wants to buy, and the brand is no longer fashionable. It’s not rocket science. They had time to fix it and they haven’t. Time’s up.

Great news! 4,000 employees!! Do the maths. Look at the wage bill, then factor in the rents and business rates liabilities for the premises, then add on service charges and insurance and the like. After that, go to any of their stores, look at the footfall and and work out how the hell they can possibly meet those liabilities. Heavy restructuring is the only way out here.

There remains an obvious route to get rid of the lease liabilities which are crippling this business, but people don’t like it being mentioned here as it’s not exactly great for shareholders!

Why not invest somewhere where everyone isn’t playing silly b*ggers!? This’ll crash tomorrow morning and may then have some ups and downs but you have no idea when the triggers will arrive for the downs. It’s stupidly exposed to huge lease liabilities with masses of stock and minimal customers. It’s finished. Why not invest in a company which has decent prospects, and whose products/services people want to buy?! Why, why are people still talking about blowing their money here??

Forget it Sheltie. You’ve tried!

Weirdo fantasist.

Actually, don’t apologise, just stop.

Toffers - why don’t you try apologising to all those who you relentlessly encouraged to buy this sh*t? You pretended you knew announcements were coming and that Jade was celebrating! It wasn’t funny and it wasn’t true. It was sh*t and some poor saps here got sucked in. You are a wrong ‘un.

Yeah, and you kept on ramping it regardless didn’t you Toffers, even implying you had an inside track on various occasions. Shameful.

Spot on Sheltie.

No, they’re not. They’re just weirdos with too much time on their hands - just like the rest of us.

Not sure why that was censored. Perfectly decent town in Lincolnshire.

i reckon you’re a bin man from s****horpe, toffers. nothing wrong with being a bin man.

Jeez Ade, let it go!

And Toffers accused others of being multi monikered!

Sold a slug of these today. They’ve had a cracking run. Will dive back in if any retrace.

Giffnock Wholefoods! Used to go there when visiting the in-laws. Shame it’s an Aldi now. As you say, always empty. Unilever will get there eventually. Some more corporate restructuring and spin out some stuff to highly leveraged folk advised by peeps who just want a fat fee and don’t give two figs about the outcome and Bob’s your uncle.

yep - this is ****e. i can’t sell though. the day after i sell stryker will pounce. it’s guaranteed.
