Inaccuracies in the property press this week require clarification. easyInternetcafé is not closing its large London stores. The company has been advised that it can get a sizable premium (make a cash profit) on the sale of the lease of its Oxford street outlet. Only the Oxford Street lease has been put on the market.

The other 4 london "megastores", which are only a small part of the overall easyInternetcafé estate of almost 70 stores in 9 countries, will be reviewed from time to time as the property market hots up.

For the last two years easyInternetcafé has been saying that it prefers its arrangements with companies like Burger King, McDonald's, The Post Office or Sainsbury's rather than having its own name on long property leases. easyInternetcafé wants to be in the Internet access business rather than the property business.
