It is all very well pointing the finger at the BTTF directors, but do we forget the underinvestment that Kwiksave suffered while part of the Somerfield Group? I was a Kwiksave employee for two years before we were informed that we would be converting to a Somerfield Store. The moment we opened our new automatic doors all the problems that we had put up with during our time as a Kwiksave vanished. Somerfield picked the most profitable stores, the best supply chains and the best of the equipment which left poor Kwiksave with little facilities to operate their stores. I feel that Somerfield is responsible for the colapse of Kwiksave and that it stems from the 'merger' that took place in 1998 when investment in Kwiksave stopped. BTTF were left with a company in ruins, they didn't stand a chance. Good luck to all ex employees and those who will work with Freshxpress. 2007 - R.I.P Kwiksave

peter, ruthin,

We have heard 56 stores have been saved out of the 146 and that the other 90 had been closed. This is yet another lie by both Kwiksave and they have now dragged KPMG into it. Bestwood in Nottingham was closed in May 07 and was not one of the 20 stores that Kwiksave Reopened (check usdaw website) it lists the stores. That means they have reopened a store firstly with no staff plus shut another store that had staff putting more people out of work. I would place money on it that within the next month KPMG will anounce that fresh express have taken over more shops.Again all debts will be wiped free and the crooks that ruined kwiksave will carry on. Its time for the goverment to investigate both kwiksave and somerfield directors
