That's a shock, and a shame.
Hopefully the shops and staff can be Rescued by a deal.

This is the banner on their homepage. Sad times as it is decently run shop tbf.

"Thank you for your patience - To prioritise getting orders dispatched which were placed over the weekend, We have decided temporary disable the ability to place new orders. We hope to reopen soon."

I think it may have been the fishing republic disaster From last year or 2 that took them down.
I used to use go outdoors a lot but Prefer decathlon for general outdoor clothes but branded Items would be go outdoors

Great customer services department.

A few years back I ordered 50 quids worth of hooks and they sent me the wrong pattern of hooks.

Full refund given and I was told to keep them so i donated then to a kids angling charity along with other bits.

I'm a regular in Go Outdoors and speak to one of the guys a lot when I'm in there.

He believes it all went downhill when JD purchased them.

Hopefully someone will rescue them, and return them to their former glory.

Same here. sad times. I have had quite lot of stuff from them over the years. Good prices and they price match too. Somebody mentioned below about the card. Swapped a few defective things over the years. Just used to check my purchase history with the card and print me a receipt off

Let's hope they get a buyer

well they had to close for a couple of months and with camp sites closed and sports places closed nobody is buying anything like a lot of businesses they cant survive sadly
and I must confess I never bought very much from them and felt like the £5 card was a piss take

So, hundreds of people are potentially out of a job, their family incomes lost, and you're rubbing your hands together because you might be able to save a couple of quid... a bit of a parasitic attitude.

Get a grip, he's just giving folks the heads up. Hardly drinking to the job losses is it.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
