I'm amazed it lasted this long. 20 years of unprofitablility is an astounding record that would never have been allowed to continue had the company been in public ownership! I think the staff of Index have actually been lucky to hold onto their jobs until now, as the chain's succession of owners have apparently been running the business with other motives than pure return-on-investment.
