Focus lacks what their name suggests.

Perhaps there is at least scope for a good old fashioned asset
strip.


Indeed, skip the stock, auction off the transport fleet and sit on the
property / land. The only thing is, will that give Cerberus a return
on their £225m 'investment'?...


The only mystery is how they survived so long. You often had our local Focus to
yourself !

....and that often includes the 'staff'.
