    Maybe they should have stuck to just having the kiosk in the actual Grainger Market instead of 67 stores :O

    I remember when they were literally just the kiosk, then they opened, an actual store, then I heard they'd spread about a bit, but 67 stores, since about 1997 that's one hell of an expansion!

    Kinda sad to see em' go I suppose, I used to shop at the original Grainger back when I was still a teenager, the aforementioned kiosk, bought many a Megadrive, and Sega Saturn game there, most of which I still have...

    R.I.P. Grainger...

    You usually get a hint that they are in trouble when they start selling things cheap, which reminds me I got an Easter egg half price at TESCO yesterday, I WONDER ?????????????????

    They said that about Woolworths, but I still bought £200 pounds of bedding in there for £40 just days before, and coincidentally I got exactly £4.00 off the egg in Tesco, it is all in the 4s and the 0s...............and there are exactly four letters before the 0 in Tesco...........case proven.
