Buy now, figure out the strategy later.
Turn each store into a jumble sale just like Sports Direct.

No doubt the greedy fat **** will put them into administration leaving the supply chain owed tens of millions whilst he hides on his ship in Monaco .An analyst on Sky has just said that Philip Green is more interested in keeping his personal wealth than rescuing his own business and couldn't care less about the staff.
Mike Ashley wants to buy Arcadia's brands.
That's definitely the end of them then.
I thought he bailed out of buying Debenhams? I know he bought House of Fraser and made a mess of that though.You'd have to wonder what he's thinking. Debenhams hasn't gone well for him but I can't imagine anyone could make that work. Top Shop was my go to clothes shop 20 years ago. It's been on the slide since then. H&M seems to have stolen their thunder but all of these places seem to have a pretty short life cycle.
Wonder where they got that idea from?An analyst on Sky has just said that Philip Green is more interested in keeping his personal wealth than rescuing his own business and couldn't care less about the staff.
Well, can you?What's this, spot the difference?
I buy virtually everything from Amazon and there must be millions of others who do the same.
I'm killing the high street and shopping malls, do I care no not a jot.
Shopping is for women and should be banned in this day and age. Look at all the jobs I'm creating in Amazon warehouses, which are just as well paid as shop jobs but you won't be able to stand around all day awaiting a customer
Yep we are getting lazier by the day I'm glad I was born 57 years ago so hopefully I won't be around when all you have to do is press a button to get your arse wiped and the rain forests have been stripped bare to make coffins the size of a Mini Cooper.Not this woman: I'm a male shopper, my late Mr K K was a female shopper.
We would go out together go for food and then either see each other back at home or meet back up after an hour or so and go home together.
I am also happier shopping online. I dont want to do shops. They have people in for starters. I'm not really a people person
I don't want to do rails up on rails of looking at clothing and so on.
Give me my laptop, tablet or mobile and I will happily shop online.
I will browse more online than I ever did in shops.
I don't care either. It was 30 years time the blueprint for the High Street was Hairdresssrs, barbers, beauty spa's, cafe bars, restaurants etc. The rest will be parks and homes.
That has come forward by 15-20 years with Covid19.
Online also creates work too

Wasn't having a go at you directly KK and I do a lot of shopping on line but me being an out and out townie for me the high street is an institution I love the diversity it's weird and wonderful show it puts on every day plus the social aspect of bumping into friends and family and I think it will be a sorry day when it's gone.You see kids now who only come out the bedroom for a piss or go to school and they have absolutely no social skills whatsoever and I fear that's how society will become a world of ignorant lazy keyboard warriors at least when you go round the back of a pub for a scrap it restores social order.I get where your coming from however online shopping does give you the opportunity to shop with independents too.
Many independents have virtual stores with/in Amazon, eBay and Etsy
The majority of companies large, branded and well known and independents are able to still work, provide a service and employ people for online.
Amazon, eBay, Etsy for independents and so on all provide platforms for small businesses so it isn't all bad
Not looking good for the staff
Sir Philip Green's retail empire could collapse within hours, as a senior source at Arcadia Group told the BBC they do not expect any last-minute rescue deal.
The company, which includes Topshop, Burton and Dorothy Perkins, is set to enter administration on Monday.
That would put 13,000 jobs at risk.
