Cardiff city centre is one of the busier ones out there, but Howells are on the wrong side of town, too expensive and always seems quiet in there even when the rest of town is heaving.
I guess they'll make some street level shops and some nice posh flats upstairs like they did in Morgan's.
Can't say I'll miss it personally.
Howell's must be the last of its kind in Cardiff, we had loads of these big department stores years ago. Remember Evan Roberts, Mackross, Marments, Lermons, Seccombes? they were everywhere.
It will probably be turned into student accommodation
Since we are getting political, I would just like to congratulate George Osborne and austerity Britain on another fine result. The fella desrverves a knighthood for all his hard work. It was very astute of him to realise that taking money out of people's pockets would have a huge impact on retail.
Nothing to do with the internet and Amazon and online shopping at all then.
Osborne obviously fecked up the USA at the same time as well.
