Homebase gone into examinership...possible bargains to be had

paddy147 · 2013-07-16 11:32:41

Homebase are now in serious trouble. They are to close 3 stores,Fonthill,Carlow and Castlebar. So Id say there will be some bargains to be had in these stores,in order to get rid of stock. http://www.rte.ie/news/2013/0716/462772-examiner-appointed-to-homebase-ireland/

or they might just transfer the extra stock to the other stores or return it to the UK? I would imagine it would only be the older stock that might be reduced.

The stock would just be moved to other stores for the most part.

Yeh they'll sell off old stock and bits and bobs off cheap, but the expensive and quality stuff will be loaded on a truck and sent to other shops in area

These examinership threads tend to tread the same ground.. and anything at the moment is speculation.

So I'm closing this!
