spyinthesky Posted 16 March, 2018 Share Posted 16 March, 2018 Apparently closing for 'refurbishment' Wonder if lease is coming to an end? Every time I have walked past there are no customers in there even with 50% discounts available. Discounts now up to 70% Plenty of Kelvin Davis Testimonial scarves available if anyone interested Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Le God Posted 16 March, 2018 Share Posted 16 March, 2018 Apparently closing for 'refurbishment' Wonder if lease is coming to an end? Every time I have walked past there are no customers in there even with 50% discounts available. Discounts now up to 70% It is closing for a month for a major refurbishment, I'm not sure why you think that means it is closing down. Announced last week... https://southamptonfc.com/news/2018-03-09/westquay-store-refurbishment-march-april-2018 They (like every other club) always do huge discounts towards the end of the season, because very soon the number of people wanting 2017/18 season merchandise will drop sharply.

spyinthesky Posted 16 March, 2018 Author Share Posted 16 March, 2018 If that was true why would they be spending money on improving the shop? Seems odd that they feel the need to alter what is a relatively small unit Only time will tell whether this is indeed a refurb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S-Clarke Posted 16 March, 2018 Share Posted 16 March, 2018 Closed for refurbishment is standard retail jargon for we are selling up !! It isn't, because they are actually closed for a refurb.
