They used to have HQ near us. Building had a huge and I mean huge clock on it. HQ moved and in the end the clock went elsewhere. A sad day and sad Hawkins Bazaar is going for the staff. Went into the shop in Castle Mall, Norwich many years ago and thought it was great but with no children to buy for left without buying anything. Too many like me sigh
...so its your fault!!! ;)

It's the knock on effects of the high street closures that are the real worry: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-51233448

Debenhams, Mothercare HMV and Morrisons are among the many brands cutting back as the retail sector continues to struggle.
but for Morrisons https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-51223217
Morrisons is axing 3,000 management roles as part of a huge restructuring to create more shop floor jobs.
The firm says it is also creating 7,000 new hourly-paid roles at its 500 stores, meaning a net 4,000 new posts.
The new jobs will be in customer-facing roles, such as more butchers, bakers, fishmongers, the supermarket said.
Morrisons said the new roles will be a mixture of part and full time posts, but declined to reveal how the numbers will be split.
