And how will this affect the new Northern Gateway project? What will eventually happen to the shop itself, it covers a massive area.

Or will be boarded up oposite the shiny new Gateway development, along with Comet...  :(

I wonder if the powers that be are reacting to the new Debenhams store that just opened in Chesterfield?

What? No more model train set in the window?!

Very sad, the denise of another institution.

As an aside - anyone remember the garage where electrical/toy store is, it was called service motors if I remember rightly.

Terrible news, but with the opening of BHS some years ago and now Debenhams hardly a suprise.  :(

That's devastating news.  I love the Co-op and will really miss the clothing department and the friendly staff.  :(
