never heard of 'em, it only cause there's a story in the daily mail that they are the former "virgin mega stores" which many moons we ago we did a temp wharehouse for then whilst they open a store.

Looks like Branson might have seen it coming and deceided to bail out, but forgot someting.

Zavvi was created last year when Sir Richard Branson sold Virgin Megastores to Zavvi's chief executive Simon Douglas reportedly for £1.
The group has 125 stores in the UK and Ireland and employs around 2,500 people.
It is thought the Virgin Group could become liable for millions of pounds of debt if Zavvi does go under as it has guaranteed the group's orders with Entertainment UK.

My views are mine, like them or not most often they are right. When they are wrong, you did not read the answer correctly.

Think he might have fluked that one looking at it.
With all these big chains going, what's the chances they will take a national alarm company with them? I'm not thinking of ADT or Chubb but perhaps a smaller one.
I've also heard that some mobile phone shop will be in trouble. Mobile phone sales have bombed.
