It will be whichever are making the least profit so I would imagine that it will be the smaller ones and those that have very high overheads on account of their locations - so given the spread of stores thereshould still be one near you - in my area for example I could easily envisage both the aylesbury one and the one in the centre mk being on the closurelist but the much bigger store on the H5 in MK would probably be much more likely to stay open.

Jessops have done this to themselves by pitching their prices too high (yeah i know they will price match , but it might be better just to advertise at a lower price in the first place) and by not having knowledgable and non partisan staff (which ought to be the uSP of shops over the internet).
