Check out the list below for a nostalgic trip down memory lane.
7. MFI
Long before IKEA dominated the flatpack furniture market in the UK, retailer MFI was a staple in retail parks and high streets. The furniture shop was one of the largest suppliers of kitchens and bedroom furniture in the country. MFI ceased trading after the financial crisis in 2008. Photo: Peter Macdiarmid
8. Tie Rack
Founded by South African Roy Bishko, Tie Rack was often found in stations and airports and in some of the biggest UK shopping centres. Unfortunately, after a slow decline in sales, the gentleman's accessory store closed down in 2013. Photo: Shutterstock
9. Blockbuster
Once an iconic place to pick up your weekend movie treat, Blockbuster movie rentals once had over 800 stores in the UK. After a steady move to online movie rentals and streaming services, the company placed its UK subsidiaries into administration in 2013. Photo: Shutterstock
10. Comet
The electrical retail chain was formed in 1993, and was iconic for its bright orange and black logo and ‘We live electricals’ branding. The stores sold everything from TVs to household electrics. The final shops were closed down nationwide in December 2012. Photo: Shutterstock
