What Future BHS ?


In this week's Saturday Daily Telegraph Mary Portas looks at the fortunes of that High Street institution British Home Stores
Owner Sir Philip Green promised a bit of a revamp to introduce some of his other mid-market brands, but this doesn't seem to have helped BHS turn the corner at present.
There are some alarming contrasts with rival Primark.
In Luton these rival stores are literally a stone's throw apart ( please don't test this out )
I'm just noting however that BHS usually seems to be more populated by older shoppers ( potentially a big market ), and housed in brutalist 60's buildings.
The picture of the Market Street, Manchester looks very similar to our Luton branch ( pictured )
