You may have heard that Blacks Leisure Group, who sell outdoor and camping gear, announced this week that they were planning to close 89 shops across the UK.
Given there are a couple of their shops on the Island, we got in touch with them and found out that the Blacks Leisure and Millets shop in Newport will remain open.
A few good things about that – the people working in the shops won’t be losing their jobs and that the shops must have been trading profitably, as those that aren’t are being closed down.
Thanks to Kelvin Currie for the heads up.
