It sells house ornamentation - I don't know the right term - curtains, cushions and candles, all with a faintly brought-from-afar theme, hence the name. http://www.pier.co.uk/ I'm very fond of it, and will be sorry to see it go. But 30 or 50% off four weeks before Christmas . . .
Heh, Yorkshire! The BHS in Sheffield is rarely ever busy except in the week before Christmas, and none in the area are ever what you'd call *very* busy, in fact they're what you'd call glacial most of the year.
I was looking at other shops which had large Icelandic investments in them - one of those might fail soon, the list includes Hamleys, House of Fraser, Oasis, Somerfield, Iceland, and Coast. Both Woolies and MFI had large Icelandic investment in them.
