Sevenoaks in Lincoln has closed. Is this a one off or are other branches closing?

There has been some merging with Audio T. Locally, I've seen the Plymouth-based Sevonoaks branch has been consolidated into Exeter.

They closed a couple of months ago. The Lincoln branch was a franchise, and from what I've heard, there may be a few more going, as a lot of the 10 year franchisee contracts initially signed are coming to an end around now.
I would suspect that they found the current trading conditions too tough to carry on.
Sevenoaks is a franchise business, so the success or failure of each individual Sevenoaks branch is down to the business owner running each shop - I doubt Sevenoaks HQ are keen to bank roll any of their franchisees who find themselves in difficulty.
