This probably stems from the fact that Past Times are looking to go into administration although beyond the story on this link (http://tinyurl.com/7p2z9gn) there's been nothing in the national news that I've seen about this. They don't seem to make the best use of their retail space at Atlantic Village though.
They do also appear to be closing some stores as well: http://tinyurl.com/8ygqx5c
I can find nothing searching with Google about Mountain Warehouse going, however our recent years some stores have been closed.
Well Past Times is now history at Atlantic Village and Mountain Warehouse is going along with that Surf Shop that opened not that long ago. Was it that the rent and rates were too much? Was it simply the recessionary times that we live in? With the surf shops I don't know where people find the money for £20 or more just for a t-shirt. I can't see that they're any better than a £5 plain one, maybe that's just me. Good luck to the ex staff or soon to be ex staff finding a job round here!
