Debenhams buy out

Another one bites the dust. Shame.
Debenhams shops on the high street are usually pretty huge. Who is going to want to take them over?

I see that Boohoo are buying Debenhams and are not planning to reopen the stores, just continuing with the online business. This is going to leave a big hole in a lot of high streets. I used to make a point of looking at one stage, but they have lost a lot of shine over the years. Apparently the online shop attracts 300 million hits a year. I don't really like the online offering either, so I guess that I'm not their target audience any more. I wonder what state the high street will be in when this is over?
