    Not good. I wonder who will be next?

    Hein Gericke looked bare, both stock wise and customers today. Can't see how they can turn a profit in this environment. Never anyone in there!

    Never good to see a business close. Who is goin to shake up the industry?

    Do you know I don't honestly think I've ever been in Heine Gericke when the customers outnumber the staff. And I've been in a few.

    I went to Carlisle branch a few years ago, three staff no other customers, not one of them asked if they could help so I spent my money on some new leathers and a lid elsewhere :(

    They all need to fight to stay with us, things should look up next month as the weather improves :)
