I was right about TESCO, 1700 store management jobs to gog67bbx wrote: ↑Sat 06 Jan, 2018 08.37
I came across this forum by chance, thought I would add my own views on the subject.
Ones to watch in 2018:
Toys R Us - To be honest, it cant keep going for much longer. It will either fold completely or wind down to a few select sites.
Debenhams - Poor results over Christmas. I feel it will review its estate and cut out the deadwood shops, and put money into refurbishing the good ones.
House of Fraser - Seeking rent reductions. Unfortunately, I think it will end up going down the BHS route.
M&S - Store closures.
(Looks like the department stores are going to struggle this year)
Poundland (and Pep&Co) - Will be sold to new owner.
WHSmith - Just one to keep on the radar. Possible management/HO structure changes and closing of least profitable stores as leases end. Travel doing well.
TESCO - Possible Management changes and store redundancies.
That's it for now, but could be some changes as the retailers release their Christmas results. Next and ALDI have done very well over Christmas.
