    I'd say Pennys are really regretting not going online now.

    Crazy to think the amount of jobs that are being lost, hope it's not for long.

    Is there a reason such a massive operation decided not to have an online portal? Would of cost them next to nothing to give it a go? Weird.

    I remember reading something about it before and it was something to do with the cost of having stuff delivered.
    I don't really want to derail this thread.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,065 ✭✭✭✭PopePalpatine


    I'd guess whatever margin there is on €5 t-shirts and €2 socks would get swallowed up by delivery costs.
    4000 jobs between those 2 alone from what I've heard.

    Surely there's got to be an extra zero on that figure?

    I'm surprised it's 4000 to but when I think of it they've all the cosmetics people. floor staff, sock room, restaurants and kitchen staff, cleaners, maintenance, etc. It all adds up.
    It's BT2 also.

    Add Cineworld and all Odeon cinemas to the list.

    Apparently the reason Penneys don't have an online presence is because they want people in the shop. You're far more likely to pick up an extra couple of items for 3 or 4 euro each if they're there in front of you in the shop, rather than having to go look for them online, especially if they're items you had no intention of buying in the first place. But because their prices are so low, people don't feel guilty about buying a few extra things if they see them. They're all about volume, the more they sell the cheaper they can keep prices and perpetuate the cycle.

    Vans have just announced they are closing all their shops in Europe until April 5th.
    All staff will remain on full pay and benefits.

    Bests Menswear nationwide are now fully closed down.

    Due to the developments surrounding COVID-19, we are sorry to announce the closure of Best Menswear stores nationwide. The health and well being of our customers and team members is our number one priority and as such we have taken the decision for stores to remain closed until further notice.

    We urge all our customers to adhere to the HSE public health guidelines and to be mindful of each other during this difficult time. We will continue to post any updates through our social media channels.

    We believe this to be a short term situation and normal service will resume very shortly.

    We thank you for your support, continue to look out for one another and we look forward to seeing you soon!

    Regards,
    The Best Menswear Team

    Something like this might make Pennys go online pretty rapidly, even if margins are low Im sure a minimum spend of 50 euro for free delivery would work for them. The likes of Littlewoods, Asos, etc are in the same space as Pennys so they will be making a fortune while Pennys have their high street stores shut down.

    Fair play to businesses paying their staff when shut though you would wonder how they long can sustain it if this goes on for months which is looking likely.

    Yes. Tesco and the Pharmacy's are open. Then you have the likes of House of Fraser, Next, Marks & Spencer (who do have a grocery section), JD Sports, H&M and Superdry who seem to refuse to close


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28 kathryn1985


    Just wondering shouldn’t tesco, Aldi etc. be selling only essential items and not clothes, flowers, tv’s, flower pots etc. during this time.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,576 ✭✭✭Rows Grower


    Dr. Martens have closed all there shops.
    I don’t wear Vans or Dr. Martens by the way, I just pay for them.

    Clothes are essential. I’d like to see you go outside without any on.

    Clothes will be essential , I just know my parents who love gardening will be going round to Aldi, tesco,Lidl buying plants, compost and plant food. If they are expecting Garden centres to close as being a non essential business etc. It would bring more footfall to the super markets and not supporting social distancing measures.

    If the shops here start implementing the measures that have been put into operation in places such as Milan, do you think your parents will queue outside in the elements for an hour or two to get into a store to buy a Rose bush?

    Unfortunately yes knowing them. They would be buying a couple of trolley loads of bedding plants and other plants. And the garden would be their escape from being locked up in house all day.
