Sure a few have seen this now but looks like it was confirmed yesterday

DTA have closed and ceased trading. Its a real shame in my opinion as its nice to see small British companies thriving but obviously not this one Sad

They can't afford to ramp up prices to begin with so they can then put them back to normal once a month with "SALE" printed on everything? But then i guess if it was a business model that worked then dfs would be huge and everyone would know the name - Owait...

My mums business general has lower prices then most places, they couldn't afford to do sales as they weren't breaking even. Hense why they are closing! Shame people are only going in now! Instead of supporting the business before. Ahwell

Think you're missing the point mate.
They wouldn't need to lower prices using DFS as an example. Their sofas are never worth the £1000 they are initially advertised for. So their sale price is the actual price they want/expect to make their money
