Albermale and Bond and William Brown have closed their stores. Should be positive news for H and T
Ramsdens Holdings (LON:RFX) should also be a potential beneficiary of reduced competition. However I don't know the number of stores that are to close or there geographic distribution. My understanding is that H & T (LON:HAT) are predominantly based in the south of the country with Ramsdens Holdings (LON:RFX) having more of a northern presence. It will be interesting to see the reaction if any in their share prices..
