Forum topic: Clock in the Triangle time still not corrected, Town Centre turning into a Ghost Town

Interesting take on the role of 'physical retail' today, all be it with a US focus. Multiyork into a Lego play room anyone?

PS The Clock looks to be working now

Yeh, thought it looked to be working when I was finishing off my final commute via Enfield Mini Holland on the 21st.

Toys R Us is up the spout, US and UK, though no reason it couldn't phoenix out of smaller more manageable stores, and less of them, with a better internet presence and click & collect service.

Sadly PG isn't one of the MultiYork's being saved. Perhaps unsurprisingly given the ones that are are places like St Albans, Epping, Guildford, Winchester etc.

Pretty much confirms there's an big empty shop unit that's going to be hanging around for a while.
