Quite sad about Cruise considering the large effect it had on a generation of label conscious Hibs guys during the late 80's through to the end of the millennium.
Iirc they had a shop that started in Rose st but relocated to st mary's street.

Cruise, Xile, Who's Who and Paninaro all synonymous with that era.

I'd imagine that they'll keep their same lines and not diminish their brands by moving low budget stuff into their shops. The higher end, niche markets, probably won't return as much as selling lots of low budget crap but it gives them diversity.

I'd imagine that pretty much every decent company has elements of crap under it's overall umbrella.

Pretty decent bonuses for the staff of Sports Direct, they are to receive £43,750 each in shares, a great incentive.

USC is pretty much a pile of pish these days.

Cruise was good whilst on St Mary's Street. Stocked many fine pieces and plenty vintage SI garments before some dickhead flooded ebay with crap, adorning patches on the wrong arm and with nae class.

Fine time to roll out the auld "they dinnae make them like they used tae" ... too ****ing true. :agree:
