Was down KDY High street during the week, it's pretty bleak down there, no disabled cars going up the street. Plenty beggars and jakies though, meanwhile the retail park is booming!

I would say that the way the whole Kingsgate was remodeled for Debenhams means they have likely committed to a long term lease arrangement. Therefore probable facing hefty penalties if the Dunfermline store was to close.
No guarantees though in the world of balancing spreadsheets!

Leases really don't matter to administers. They will be looking to save profitable branches.

I reckon it's safe. Stores in Dunfermline rarely get the chop unless the whole chain has gone bust, and it's small as well which probably fits the future model better for department stores.

Leases may not matter to administrators but hefty penalty clauses might! Note I am only speculating that there might be substantial penalty clauses, I have no inside knowledge on this, I am not even a knowledgeable individual on DAFC players salaries unlike most on this forum :)
Being profitable is no guarantee against closure in todays world. :)

There will be penalty clauses for all leases. I would I imagine they lease all their properties so it will come down to how big the penalty is against the profitability of each store

Penalty clause may not apply if they mothball it, cheaper to not use it and wait for lease break (and a company like Debenhams will have property experts that will be clever enough to consider all eventualities)

Surely the lease is defunct as it's a contract with a company that doesn't exist anymore, so they negotiate a new one? Or is it like Sevco and it's the same club.....

Judging by the amount of thefts from Debenhams I read about in the court pages of The Dunfermline Press, the shop in the toun must hardly make any money at all. They would be as well getting their perfume deliveries straight to James Street Hostel

James St Hostel, Debenhams, Sheriff Court - very handily situated within yards of each other, a well worn triangular path.

Do a google search on Debenhams Dunfermline theft and the first 3 listings are 10/4/19 - £1200 of perfume by someone from Kirkcaldy, 1/10/18 - £37.91 of perfume by a resident at James Bank hostel and 29/8 - £194 of perfume by a Lumphinnans resident. Hardly warrants getting their perfume deliveries straight to James Bank. Oh and the “triangular path” you refer to Mario needs to be a square as you’ve missed out the cop station.

I wish they’d shut Debenhams in the kingsgate and turn it into a Vue cinema. That would be amazing. They’d make an absolute fortune.
