Retail Week report Jessops going into administration.

Jessops local high street store: small range of gear from limited number of major manufacturers locked up in glass cabinets. Very often queues at the counter behind people with print orders, etc., before you can get to a member of staff.

PCWorld/Curry's local warehouse store: wide range of gear from most major manufacturers, most on open display, so that the customer can walk in and handle them ad lib without needing to be supervised by in store staff.

Any surprise that most customers preferred the PC World retail model?
