Orphanides in death dive?

Postby supporttheunderdog » Tue Nov 27, 2012 8:04 pm

The Store chain appears to be in terminal decline - several stores in the Pafos area have gone , seemingly along with the big one just to the South of Nicosia just over the highway from Ikea/the mall...shelves are empty in other stores.

Are suppliers pulling the plug?

I heard they owe Sigma TV millions and to pay off the debt Sigma staff are being part paid in vouchers for Orphanides stores - not much good if there is nothing in them to buy let alone if the stores have gone....

I told you!

I am also fairly sure Tesco is not about to take them over.

A sign, perhaps, of the fact there are less "disabled" Greek people than disabled Brits! :roll:

Stop trying to shoot the messenger: above all stop trying to malign me with lying slurs and trying to impute motives which do not exist.

The problems with Orphanides are a matter of widespread debate (including in the Cyprus mail) and no I do not wish demise for the ROC.I do not wish for the demise of Orphanides. I only want peace and prosperity for the Island and its businesses.

It will indeed a be profoundly sad day for the ROC if its biggest Supermarket chain goes down the pan, with all the pain this will cause for suppliers (and bankers) who may be owed millions and some of whom may also be tragically forced out of business and in particular for the many hard workers at Orphanides.

You are not a messenger but a hopeful harbinger.

- You just couldn't wait to bring all of that bad news to my door ...
