You're a little late to the party, somebody mentioned it back on the 23rd, and I backed it up on the 25th after visiting my local place. ____________________

We are pleased to announce that the following shops are open for business as usual:
Manchester
Stockwell, London
Southampton
Edinburgh
Farnborough
Gants Hill, Ilford, London
Glasgow
Belfast
Maidstone
Preston
Leicester
Braintree
Aberdeen
Hanger Lane, London
Oxford
Chiswick, London
We are working as quickly as possible to ensure our UK Webshop is back online as soon as possible. |
Sadly no shops for York or Leeds.
In fact for mainland UK only Scotland, North West (Manchester, Preston), down south and Leicester for the Midlands.
So, no bikers in the south west, north, north east then
Maybe it is J&S who bought them as that would match areas where they already have stores.
I guess like woolworths.co.uk rising from the ashes they'll be hoping the web site may attract people. Personally I like to try my clothing and helmets for fit

Business half open versus business half closed. Ah well, it could have been a lot worse.
That's a lot of new stock to buy, I am intrigued as to who is bankrolling it. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

Out of interest do you have a source for that or is it internet gossip?
I only ask as Norwich has re-opened as part of Infinity Motorcycles.

Seems to be quite a lot of stores not reopening.
I got some decent HG branded gloves for work, only cost £15 and were perfect for those hot days, with knuckle armour too.
Spotted some Alpinestars gloves in there for £30 more than advertised anywhere else. I managed to buy from Demon Tweeks and got a further discount because I've bought a lot of stuff there, so saved myself over £50.
No wonder people didn't want to buy the brands from there, if they'd been willing to give discount to those that asked, they'd probably have got a lot more custom and kept customers too... I nearly got 25% off some boots, but as the guy was putting it through, the new(ish) manager came and said no no no you can't do that, you can have £10 off but no more, so I was like no thanks, that's more than the RRP, I'll get them somewhere else. |

IIRC, the story came out that they'd been covering UK's debts for a couple of years now. It seems curious that they'd stop bankrolling them in order to put spend a different way, buying them wholesale. But it could have looked like a better use of their money, especially if there were differences of opinion in management.
However, I don't believe it's ever been confirmed that the new owner is HG Germany. Although it's very strange that the buyer is so hush-hush since they'll have to convince suppliers to extend them even more credit.
Actually, checking the numbers, it looks like a "glass 1/3 full" situation, that's only 16 out of 49 stores kept open. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.
