Outside maplins in middlesbrough right now, even closing down it's only between 20 and 50% off

I think that Maplin Hillsborough closes up for good today, has anyone seen if the reductions have actually brought anything down to a reasonable value yet?

People losing their jobs and all some are worried about is whether they can get a cheap bargain.

 

Shame on you all.

its EXACTLY why they are losing their jobs, its always been far more expensive than the competitors, blame their management.

The point is its closing down YET STILL the prices are still way higher than their competitors

You think we should pour money into them to make them feel better then for a short period?

 

Maplins went pop because they didnt offer what people wanted in sufficient amounts at the right price to make a profit. If the staff didnt see that coming and it's been a long tim then you get caught on the hop sadly.

What about all the years the shop staff worked there and knew full well they were ripping off the public? They've had YEARS to get out and find a more honest job.

 

And if they had no idea that their products were many times more expensive than other suppliers they had no business working there in the first place.

What would you like us to do, the shops are closing because they were terrible value.

I'm sure that the staff will go on to find other jobs in retail.

Anyone know what the former toys r us at the retail park is going to be, it’s got hoarding around the front and scaffolding all the way around

Put the address into the council's planning applications page, you can usually find out that way.
