Weird thing it was because they basically inherited liabilities from that other company and not their core business.

Real shame, fantastic breadth of choice with proper mujsic geeks working in them

In which case, it's the MD's fault for buying the ex-Music Zone stores - should have stuck with what he had.

Yep, very bad business decision.

Oh pity the poor mujsic geeks (I need to install an english speel chucker )

It's alive!!! Just heard that it's been purchased out of administration by another high-street chain and that it will be allowed to operate as before with same staff etc. Can't be more specific as I don't know how public this info is...

Nothing could be worse than losing Benjy's! No peanut butter toast or cereal in the mornings! No Polish girls off Harry & Paul!

Tell that to my mate who worked in the wharehouse and was not paid for the final month. I am sure he will be jumping up and down at the prospect of going back to work for them

I could say more about how farked up the company was and why they took such a steep fall from being a good, profitable company to being stuffed but that would be naughty.
