Hayes Travel buying Thomas Cook Stores

Just watching Sky news and it's reported that Hayes Travel have just acquired all 555 Thomas Cook shops, some good news at last

That’s great news for people who’ve lost jobs. Part of me wonders if it’s a mistake though? Do enough people use an agent to make enough money for all that rent?

While I'm all for saving money, I love going into a Travels agents store and booking a holiday face to face. I booked my last two holidays in a Virgin Holidays store, I'm a bit old fashioned when it comes to any shopping,I'm not really an internet shopping kind of gal!😁

This is what I mean by using a store to book a holiday rather than the internet, if we don't use them,we lose them

I completely agree when it comes to most shops.
I’m just well aware of the ridiculous rents being commanded on the high street.

They only have the stores for 6 months - if they can’t break a profit or get the rents reduced by landlords then they close. It’s a lifeline but far from being a long term deal
