[Kalimantan Gull]

Curse of the Goldstone ?

Now there's an interesting thing. What's the full list?

 

[Dick Swiveller]

There's millions of debt, says Geoffrey, all under 1 roof.

 

[Wrong-Direction]

I thought they were closing loads of stores

JJB went into administration though they're still going in some form.

Also Maplins Electronics on the brink.

Toys'r'Us have been in difficulty for quite a while, cannot see them surviving

Both companies failed to move with the times.

I don't know about The Curse of The Goldstone: more like The Curse of Amazon.

Gone bust now

 

[Simster]

I'm surprised Toys 'R' Us lasted as long as they did.

 

[KZNSeagull]

Maplins now in administration as well.

Something wrong if they owe the government £15million in tax. Other 'overseas' companies don't pay that much in 10 years. New accountants needed.

 

[Giraffe]

Serves them right, just need to get DFS out now.

I never forgave them for sending me an invitation to their "Goldstone Retail Park opening".

I think it's VAT.

Amazed Maplin is still around.

Never found anything I can't find cheaper (and better) on Amazon.

That explains it. Certainly wont be corporate tax.

Invention of the tablet was the end of toys are us.

That's the only thing kids want these days.

Any chance the club could buy up the remaining outlets and build a nice new 35,000 capacity stadium ? Good rail links and concrete over Hove Park for the coaches and car park .

Yeah, goes to show how important innovation and adapting to changing consumer needs is. They've stood still.
