Just read in the paper that Yorkshire and Cyldesdale Banks are being rebranded as Virgin Money.

This was announced, widely reported and discussed here a year ago.

"Could be the end of the brands" - that's speculation. The fact it's actually happening is new news.

That certainly explains why the Debenhams board would rather take the chain into administration than let Ashley have it!

So much for the reprieve. Hull House of Fraser is closing after all.

I think you’ve made the case for why they haven’t closed one down yet.

They're keeping a clearly unnecessary store open to prevent a competitor moving in?

You'd think they'd have closed one down in that case. That's what happened in Hull's North Point Shopping Centre - the Alliance (formerly Selles) became Boots, and the smaller Boots closed down (it became Co-Op Pharmacy).

Did that new store replace an old one and they just brought across the EPOS computers?

I presume this is the first advert with the refreshed Boots branding. Having passed a few stores, I think the window promo posters etc look pretty good with the logo free'd from it's oval. I'd be surprised if they replace exterior signage given the size of the store estate, but I guess we'll see. I...

So what's the thinking behind putting Jack's branded stuff in Tesco's entrance promo asile? I'm hardly going to buy some, think "this ain't too bad" and then drive to Leeds to stock up?

I wouldn't be surprised if some of those products are identical to the Tesco own brand ones.

When will The Co-Operative Bank rebrand, I wonder? It's no longer owned by the Co-Op, and is still using the old generic branding.
