That was a shit show and a half.
They built a new store on far side of city which they own (land and building) instead of leasing an existing place.
The easterhouse site did very well for them, the new site nose dived into the red leavng a gaping hole in what they were expecting out of Scotland. And it didn't pick up until nearly 2 years after they closed the easterhouse store.
Only way they could improve the new store was to remove its biggest competition, the easterhouse store.
The new store still (4 years later) performs massively below what a feature store of that size on its own pad of land should do.
Products can be good, some good staff, but it's basically kids operating the UK arm of decathlon (most fall out of uni directly into head office) and to top it, they treat staff like utter shite.

What are Evans up to?
Few months ago they announced they were shutting one of their Glasgow branches and (I believe) ditched some staff, now they’re opening a new store in a location that Decathlon have previously been unable to sustain. I know the businesses are different but it can’t bode well can it?
