Don't want to worry you, but there are question marks about Wilko. Lots of whispers of trouble potentially brewing. Lots of stores seemingly struggling to get stock in, to an extreme level, also apparently lots of talks between Wilko and their landlords.Topshop circa 1999 to 2006. Now I’m middle aged my favourite shop is Wilkos and I pray that never goes into admin!
The people behind Principles started up Mint Velvet which is still going strong.There seems to be so many high street shops closing that I thought we can discuss any popular ones that have now, sadly, closed.
I used to enjoy buying clothes from Principles, and still miss them.
But the biggest loss IMO is Debenhams. It was my go to for shoes, as they had a huge selection of many brands, all under one roof. I also bought the majority of my Xmas shopping at Debenhams, especially on Black Friday as their offers were brilliant. Many of their stores still remain empty and don't look good in cities and shopping malls.
And now, I've just realised that The Perfume Shop seems to be closing many of their outlets, which I regularly visited.

One of the assistant managers at Dorothy Perkins is on You Tube. Dainty Diaries. She's a nice girl.It's easy to forget just how many great shops have now closed. I hope all the staff who lost their jobs (absolutely thousands) managed to find employment elsewhere.
The staff are lovely especially in the York concession in Fenwick's?Oooh thank you, I didn't know that. I've just had a look on their web site and I'm liking their dresses, albeit rather pricey.
