In recent years, Virgin Megastores, or Zavvi as it is now known, has struggled to break even. While the retailer has worked hard to improve profitability, continued price deflation and rising fixed costs have made this extremely difficult to achieve. Furthermore, with the music market in decline, growing the top line has also proved to be a challenge for Zavvi.

Despite the deepening recession and consumer confidence falling to new lows, the founders of Land of Leather are planning a comeback. Trading under the World of Sofas fascia, the new business hopes to capitalize on cheap rents, low shipping costs and spare capacity.

With refreshing candor, chairman Gerald Corbett opened Woolworths results presentation by describing 2006/07 as "a poor year" characterized by "declining profits" and a "deteriorating financial position."

UK variety retailer Woolworths' 4.6% decline like-for-like sales decline over the Christmas trading period seems like a relative improvement against a 6.5% like-for-like nosedive in the 18 weeks to December 2. But on a more meaningful long-term comparative, there is little room for seasonal cheer, with this year's sales performance the worst since the company was demerged from Kingfisher in 2001.
