Debenhams in trouble after its half-year profits drop by a massive 85%





Department store Debenhams is in financial trouble, after its half-year profits dropped by a massive 85%.

Shares fell by roughly 10% after the announcement.

The retailer partly blames the extreme weather of recent months, which forced up to 100 stores to close for a period of time.

Debenhams has closed a number of stores deemed ‘unprofitable’ and shed 320 staff across the UK in an effort to stem losses.
