All the open branches have a "Last few days" sign in the window regardless of when they are closing. Apparently the administrators told the stores to do this. Maybe they think it will encourage more people to go inside. Probably trading standards would have something to say regarding this but the administrators probably know by the time trading standards did anything to stop them all the stores would have closed anyway.

When the Cheshire Oaks branch closed down they had a 7 day coundown in the window.
