Retail change Republic has gone into administration. They might be a lot smaller than HMV, etc, but still, another 120-ish stores.

for each store in a shopping centre , the owners look at pushing rents higher , which in turn squeezes the shops and thus we have this cycle....
I haven't fitted into anything Republic do for a good few years...
Tough one this - there are so many clothing stores around, and they're all feeling the pinch. If you're one of the ones with less of a brand, history and reputation, you really need to do something innovative. Wouldn't shock me if one or two more bit the dust in coming months - I think Store 21 bought out Q&S recently, and despite revamping themselves Peacocks have a pretty dire reputation... that's to name just two.
Been there several times in my Uni years as it was near my campus to buy clothes on sale. Shame to see it go.
Bah humbug. If yer gonna have a republic make it a real one so we can avoid the paparazzi pictures of the royal waters breaking![]()

Bloody fashion stores..
Good riddance , next mobiles , fakebook etc etc
Humanity needs a kick up the arse , not 101 vanity products with gadgets to show off.

"In a perfect world... spammers would get caught, go to jail, and share a cell with many men who have enlarged their penises, taken Viagra and are looking for a new relationship."
Im not unsympathetic ,It doesnt change the fact these stores just illustrate what shallow , materialistic ( hence the greed ) society we've become.
So by supporting that , your also supporting those ideals which in turn make people dependent on living an illusion fostered by corporate schemes.

Actually, Republic was the sort of place you could pick up fashionable clothes quite cheap. If you were under 25...
Look at our society now.. technology has to look purdy to the point its almost all that matters, and even online its more important to see the cover than the content. facebook indeed..
Its all a bloody dalliance to distract us , like ol coyote who drowns himself by gazing at his reflection , we are all mirrors blowing smoke up our own arses .
