    Every time I've been in the Warehouse staff members have been watching the green lights at the top of self-checkouts. There are most likely cameras also trained on individuals using the machines which could easily be triggered should items leave the checkout without payment being processed.

    good move i reckon probably not a big profit generator and was mainly costume jewellery too wasnt it. so like you say more profit , less inventories , less staff = big win for the bottom line

    I know that the company is still employing new staff for replacements in other areas. This is just about the jewellery side winding down i think and could possibly reduce MHJs competition and good for them

    Didn't they say they were open to acquisitions? I wonder if this is a signal that they maybe looking at acquiring an established jewellery chain.

    The Norman’s could help them out

    But James Pascoe Group sales are more than the WHS sales

    They could acquire a smallish chain and then use its experience to build out a bigger national presence, maybe someone like Walker & Hall or Silver Moon.

    Alternatively, Michael Hill market cap is currently $340 million...

    The Warehouse has confirmed it is proposing to close its jewellery counters but isn’t saying how many jobs are on the line

    When did they say they were looking for acquisitions? Wasn't it Rod Duke (Briscoes) that were on the hunt for something else? Or are both retailers looking?

    Either way don't think MHJ would be on their radar. The Hills family own ~50% of the company and I imagine they wouldn't part with the company they built until M. Hill is in jewelry heaven.

    Thank L.E.K. I missed that. Was too busy looking at the glorious margin + sales growth

    I guess if they can do another Noel Leeming purchase, which has turned over very successful, we are in for a treat.
