With the date of the final issue of Zoo Weekly now set, will we see other titles fill this space? I ask because it has happened before. The locally produced Grazia closed and not long after newsagents started receiving the imported Grazia.
This is not necessarily a bad thing as we found for a while we sold more copies of the imported Grazia than the local title.
With Zoo Weekly, I wonder if a distributor will allocate to newsagents one of the UK lad’s mags. While I can see it happening I hope it does’t as I think that genre has had its day.

Bauer needs to rethink their product offerings. They have been too slow to adapt to what customers want. I would love to support Bauer but their products do not reflect the image I want for my store. Of course I still sell all of their options but they need to inject some serious FUNK into their magazines.
Is this as a result of Coles / Woolworths removing it from their shelves?
Amanda I would not be surprised if it was a factor considered in the decision. In reality this is a good decision for newsagents as it was loss making for most.
Love the last cover of Zoo magazine made me laugh
