The company that owns Hitchens (The Wallgate Group plc) has gone into administration. Out of 13 stores it has in the midlands & north only 2 will survive, will Morecambe be one ?

Well I really hope that the morecambe store will survive. Firstly for the staff, and also for the reason that you would not really want a store in that prominent position to be all shuttered up.

Time will tell, we will have to keep our fingers crossed.

I hope the Morecambe store survives too not only for the reasons Trev gave but also because when we are up there we always have a look in there and have often bought things. I would miss it. It always seems to be very busy whenever I've been in. I suppose it's just another casualty of the difficult times we're in at present.

Am I mistaken or did it used to have some connection with Littlewoods?

Its a great place for a bargain and as Willow said it always seems to be busy. I seem to remember that it has a connection with Littlewoods too!

Mind you we have a track record of having to take things back too. ;D

As the report says, with other stores going into liquidation it gives them opportunity to buy up the stock.

Scun Thorpe: I thought this forum would be of interest. Obviously, a silly idea: allowing the cerebrally challenged to come on here and post complete gibberish is exactly what to do if you're looking to shut down something that may have been of interest. Jun 26, 2014 18:53:35 GMT

WendyW: Evening all

I had been telling my hubby about the time I was in Morecombe when the Moby Dick and Hotel was hit by lightening and burnt down. My parents, sister and myself had just come off the Moby Dick when lightening stuck Jul 21, 2016 19:25:27 GMT

WendyW: As we walked away from the burning boat we walked past the Hotel, which had big stone balls on the towers, the lightening struck just as we walked past. I have a very healthy respect of thunderstorms.
