Shoppers snap up bargains including MANNEQUINS at last BHS stores as firm disappears from high street
BHS staff can also be seen purchasing goods with discount following news all 164 stores will cease trading by August 30
THESE pictures show shoppers snapping up bargains – including mannequins – at the last remaining BHS stores as the firm disappears from the high street.
BHS staff can also be seen purchasing goods with discount from the head office in London, following news that all 164 stores will cease trading by August 30.
As administrators move in on the 114 branches still open, thousands of loyal staff face being made redundant if no buyers are found for the plagued company’s other stores.
Today, former owner Sir Philip Green was branded the “unacceptable face of capitalism” by a Department of Work and Pensions and Business Committees report.
The tycoon was accused of systematically extracting “hundreds of millions of pounds” out of BHS, leaving its pension fund in deficit, before flogging it to “incompetent and self-serving chancer” Dominic Chappell.
Most stores are holding an “Everything Must Go” sale with up to 50 per cent discounts in light of the comapny’s devastating demise – which comes after business tycoon Green controversially sold the company for £1 last year.
Calls have been made for the multi-millionaire to lose his knighthood over the ongoing saga – which has seen thousands of hard-working Brits in the lurch.
The firm will now look to sell the stores off shop by shop.
