‘Restrictive practice’
I HAVE never sold anything in my life that it does seem to me that to tell a company it can sell only bulky goods is a restrictive practice. Surely any company worth its salt will have done and continue to do market research so as to stock the best range of stock.
John Lewis has not been here but still the towns are going to pot. So what are the real reasons? Internet shopping? Lack of money? Lack of convenient, affordable customer parking? Punitive costs?
When I studied geography, i recall an example of an ice cream stand on a beach and if they all came together at a central point then all the customers would come to that point. Is that a centre for shopping?

A friendly smile, a helpful assistant, a less noisy cafe.
After all surely it is the customers’ spending that pays the wages.
