Sorry to see it go, let's hope it is only temporary.

I used to love going through the magazine rack at the local branch in my home town which has now long been closed, now the other shop I used to visit at the massive Merry Hill shopping centre has also closed, the large WHS at Birmingham has been seriously down sized and I'm pretty sure the one at Wolverhampton has also gone, this only leaves the one at Sutton Coldfield so its not looking good for them.
What makes me laugh is they have tried cost cutting by getting rid of staff so there is never anybody around to ask if you require assistance, that is not the way forward, they should look at offering other services or products, to be fair to them they have done this in a way the branch at Sutton also serves as a Post Office and there is a small M&S in there too.
