call me ignorant, but how big is the uk retail space in relative terms that apt can eat in?( genuine question)
the growth engine in APT, is in the US market. all the major brands are US brands. yes, there are European and U.K. brands, but those are usu the premium brands that most ppl either not interested, cannot afford or unaware. uk is just icing on the cakes.
plus, Uk economy is in a mess.
