The last BHS (British Home Stores) stores have closed after 88 years of trading as a High Street institution

BHS, once a retail giant, is closing its stores, following in the footsteps of Woolworths. The closure affects 11,000 employees, raising concerns about their pensions. Philip Green, who owned BHS for 15 years, faces criticism for his handling of the pension deficit, especially after selling BHS to Dominic Chappell for £1. The pension deficit has grown, and efforts to resolve it are ongoing, with potential financial implications increasing over time.
