slippy Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 Just been told Johnsons the cleaners are closing. Anyone know, is this true? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellsy9 Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 I think they are going to be closing about 100 shops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elfman Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 yep the one next door to me is closing along with about six others in liverpool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gray Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 Not heard anything about the one around the corner from me yet. I'll dig deeper tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny King Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 The one near me is closing too =D> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Count Muppet Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 The end is near I think. How many do they have left? I bet it is approximately the same number as james needs to get his thousand Timpson shops. Strange that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellsy9 Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 Johnsons still have over 300 shops left but i would'nt rule out more closing in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perplexus Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 I wonder if the closures will cause any of their silly little pods to shrivel up and die? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 if they still have 300 shops, it shows the problems! any business that reduces its size by 25% overnight is on a slope that may be difficult to climb back up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 One near us is closing, so I've heard. Don't know how true it is yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Count Muppet Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 I would have thought that it would make better business sense to sell their Johnson branded dry clean shops to protect the rest of the business, which by all accounts is doing much better. No point in continually risking the whole business when it could be dealt with so quickly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perplexus Posted February 3, 2013 Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 The Johnson's dry cleaning/shoe repair/key cutting pod at our local Sainsbury store has disappeared overnight! Looks like a failed experiment. Or perhaps it was a Tardis . . . ? Are any of them still hanging on at other sites? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
