When Jessops first became well known they used to work out of a pokey little shop in the backstreets of Leicester, they had the best prices in the country and people in there that knew what they were selling and cared, customers used to be queueing at the door to buy their goods! Now there are chains of shops, various sell outs to bigger companies, massive overheads, shop assistants that don't know one end of a lens to the other and care even less, imaginary or non existant stock, overpricing, etc, etc. And they wonder why the shops going down the pan!!! I would suggest if they want to save it they need to get back to basics, shed their big company image, get rid of all the expensive shops in the town/city mainstreets, employ some fully trained and articulate staff who have an interest in the job they're doing, and reduce prices to be competitive with the rest of the trade. Otherwise, "GOODBYE JESSOPS".
