I was at the Bay at Guildford on Tuesday eve, it's always closed by the time I am there but took a quick look this time as its been a few months since last going in, it closes at 7 where as the mall closes at 9.
There is such a lack of stock that I only really paid attention to the men's as that's all I could look at before being told to leave. But they have moved around what clothes they have to make blank spaces look fuller. The area that used to have things like Nike, Under Armour, Adidas etc, sports clothing had none and was replaced with some jackets and outerwear from One & Only or Jack N Jones basically. There were no Polo Ralph Lauren socks at all, the sock department was pretty close to bare, they used to hang the socks on the walls but they were all bare. The underwear section was also pretty bare and the shoes section was moved around, women shoes have taken over the men's section and the old women section was filled up with things like scarves and gloves. the Mens shoes had been moved to where they used to have some Formula 1 collection type clothing which is no longer carried there I guess. The Polo section was really bare, they had spread out what they had which was mostly summer things, there was no fall or winter stock at all like there normally would be this time of year.
I don't think its going to last much longer.
