High Street Stores & Other Businesses At Risk

Why is GAP closing stores in the UK headline news ?? They only have 81 stores, they've been a business in a death roll for at least 15 years . Ridiculous its a News at 10 headline story
 
Good article on the re-purposing of the high street as we have discussed a good few times

The Stockton vision is to buy up, repurpose, restore and reconfigure the heart of the town, emphasising events, independent enterprise, green space and conviviality. As a glamorous statement of intent, in just over a fortnight one of the finest art deco theatres in Britain will reopen its doors.

SAINSBURY'S has seen its shares rise by more than eight percent following reports that Apollo Global Management is considering a takeover bid of the supermarket.

Saw this on the news (well, problems with the cards) however in Northern Ireland every adult can apply for a £1k card for the high street.

I haven’t read loads into it in terms of the pros and cons but my gut feel thinks it’s a good thing as the economy as slowed driven by the cash cycle being disrupted. Get people spending cash quicker and the situation is reversed.

Of course there is a huge taxpayer cost to this, however to me it seems better than printing money or increasing debt to bad companies.

Interesting idea, as you say, at least it means they will have to spend it where it is intended.
