Personally, I suspect Clinton Cards and/or birthdays might go. they're both useless shops.
I understand that Clinton Cards are looking to reduce there store count. The group have also announced plans to dispose of 20 Birthdays stores.

All down to Woolworths going belly up apparently. I guess Entertainment UK were their main suppliers.

That is how it seems, oh well but I doubt that if it was still owned by Virgin that it'd have stayed afloat any better. Who else on the chopping board for the end of the year? The sweepstakes board in the Secret Forum has a few spots open for early January.

I don't believe that DSG will go, they might just end up downsizing slightly, and maybe kill off some stores in places that have a Currys, Currys Digital and a PC World. I think that we are more likely to see the loss of Comet, as it's owner (Kesa) has seen a massive profits slide, and has been selling off some of its businesses on the continent.

One way that Debenhams could save money is to take all of those pointless lights off their Flagship on Oxford Street. I have never before seen such an OTT way of making people look at your store. :roll:

If so give yourself ten points!
I'm sure all the people whose jobs are at risk this Christmas are glad that someone got those ten points...
