I’ve also seen a new branch not so far from here. So perhaps we shouldn’t be so quick to write off the model.
With retail rents becoming more depressed, perhaps in future Jet2 might themselves see opportunities for a High Street presence.
First off, Jet2 will never have a high street shop or shops, their social media presence is light years ahead of all others and is working very well. You state that Thomas Cook have two shops where you live, there lies the problem, who needs shops when you can have a brilliant convenient website or sites where the customer does the work of a staff member.
Can I just ask, has anyone else got any ideas on how Thomas Cook should go forward.
