I like Superdrug, they're much cheaper than Boots! Considering they target the "value" shopper, I can't imagine them going bust.

It'll be 90% off one or two items not all I guess. Girlfriend works in the phamacy side and that is doing well.

No disrespect taken just that Phamacy is resilient since against downturns as people still need to take drugs for health reasons. Retail side may be a different matter. Don't worry though UK PLC is upside down ankle deep in sh*t. This is just the beginning.

Unlikley, they are owned by the Kong Kong magnate who owns The Perfume Shop and the mobile compnay Three, any as one poster suggested they are a "value" retailer and they are all doing very well right now

doubt superdrug will go bust as they are owned by AS Watson of whom are 16 billion +. Also, superdrug are doing quite well for themselves, i think they published a profit of 555 million.
