Default Re: Maplin stores

It's interesting to note that in the retail-park which once hosted my nearest [an hour's round-trip-drive from here] Maplin store, since Maplin folded the following other businesses have folded:

Laura Ashley
Homebase
Mothercare
Early Learning Centre
Staples
Frankie&Bennys.

And a couple of furniture/bed retailers whose names I forget.

"Big Box" retail is definitely not a good market-sector to be in.
