Pumpkin Patch

They had (at least in Christchurch) already six weeks ago hardly anything left which would tempt us to buy at any price. I don't really think the discounts matter anymore, though they might save themselves the disposal fee ...

Probably have a gander a couple of days after Boxing day when the crowds have thinned out a bit from the local mall. Won't surprise me if we're basically in a "Dick Smith Batteries" type situation with just the rubbish left.

I don't think I'll bother even then. Their stuff doesn't fit me anymore.

Could be, but was in St Lukes so thought I would have a look as a first (and probably last) time with the kids. Even at the 60% off nothing really jumped off the shelf. The shelves as of the weekend were still fully stocked and being restocked. So like nothing happened really. I think they have a lot of stock built up to get through, so wouldn't rush.

Looks like the poor ANZ are set for a good beating with this collapse. Up from $46m in July , that's nearly another $14m ! Feeling sorry for ANZ's customers as they'll be the ones ultimately wearing this loss with the extra fees and rates ANZ will sting them for !

PPL sold by receivers for a rumoured A$2M. About 1.3c per share I think. A sad end but hopefully the new owners can do something exciting with the brand

Things aren't over for childrens' retailer Pumpkin Patch, with a buyer found and plans to relaunch.

$10 bucks says it relists before 2021.

That is false

Here's the ANZ again putting themselves ahead of long serving people and admitting they're looking at losing tens of millions of dollars. http://www.stuff.co.nz/business/9075...redundancy-pay

Where's you evidence backing up your claim the NBR article is false ?

Agreed and anyone that subscribes to the IPO needs to see a psychologist !
