More bad news for the High Street...

A recent report from Retail Research warns of more High Street closures in the forthcoming months.

In Luton and Bedford this has meant empty shops where once stood :

• Blockbuster
• Jessops
• HMV

In better news Dixons has recently reported increased profits. Factors for their success appear to include

• Sale of tablets
• Collapse of rivals such as Comet and Jessops

Both these stories widely reported in the press recently. For more information consult databases FAME ( for financial data ) and Newsbank ( for commentary )
