Most of the Fashion Factory in the old co-op is apparantly closing down at the end of the month. The only part that will remain is the furniture section.

That shop will never be successful, it needs knocking down. It's far too old fashioned, with too many nooks and crannies and different levels.
Not been to John Lewis at New Street then?You are probably right but if I go to Birmingham I always like going to the department stores to shop and they are very old fashioned imo.

I'm sure it could be a fantastic something with the right vision - and money thrown at it. I suspect it suffers from a few different issues - too big for somethings, too small for other things (a john lewis for instance).
It is a lovely building though - I'd love to see it turned into a series of high end boutique / independent shops like the Leeds Corn Exchange or the Cavendish Arcade in Buxton
The problem is all the different levels. You even need to go up a few steps to get to the lift. Not disabled friendly. The cost of rectification would be huge and uneconomical.I'm sure it could be a fantastic something with the right vision - and money thrown at it.

town centres need more leisure and less retail
as people's habits are differing with more convenience and internet shopping so vast. The new cinema and new resturants and gym/s are a good start. .

WTF?It is a lovely building though -
Rugby pitches.What it should be replaced with is an entirely different matter...
