Yes but Game operate from small retail premises on the high street which are hardly cheap and the rents on them are probably very high. That pushes their needs for really high margins simply to cover the rent. If government had not pushed up property prices through low taxation the prices in the stores would probably be much more competitive.


They don't need high margins when they have a huge footfall and customer conversion rate. Most people that go into a shop like that are either buying or selling.

Yes but high footfall and high conversion rates only help if the margins are enough to cover the rents. People have mentioned the prices charged and the margins have to cover rent and wages. If one factor, rent is excessive then that will feed straight through to margins needed.
