Ok not really in my price range except in the sales but this is really bad news for Manchester

It is indeed but as soon as Ashley got his mitts on it it was always going to end badly >:(

Yet Rackhams in Altrincham has had a 'reprieve'!

If Kendals does close, the only suggestion I'm in favour of to replace it is to make it a five star hotel :smitten:

I'd be happy with that but Kendals for me, as it is, surpasses any other big store in the UK with the exception of Harrods

Unless it’s a misprint I’ve just read that  the annual rent for Kendals in the city centre is four point six million pounds, no wonder it’s closing down  :o

I read £4.63m  :o , there's talk of conversion to apartments with high end retail units on the ground level, but don't despair yet folks, is it a bird? is it a plane? no folks it's SuperKarney, yes Mr Personchester himself is launching a bid to rescue Kendals, how exactly isn't clear but it has got him into the paper and that's what is really important.

I hope he succeeds as I believe Kendals is the only shining beacon in Manchester

The new pop band, Pep and the Police? :D

Seriously, perhaps Karney has offered Mr Ashley a substantial rate cut if he leaves Kendals as it is
