"Major chain stores have been closing outlets at an average of
20 a day amid a retail bloodbath that is turning many areas
into ghost towns.

Household names shut 1,779 more stores than they opened last
year, which was some ten times worse than the fall of 174 seen
in 2011.

The figures represent the collapse of the likes of Comet, Game,
Clinton Cards and JJB Sports amid a cost of living squeeze and
a dramatic shift in shopping patterns."
