at risk

Commerce Borders UK has entered administration. I was in the Cheshire Oaks branch yesterday and asked the assistants behind the counter if the shop was at risk. They said they didn't know anything, but that since they were Christmas temps all they hoped was that they would get paid at the end of the week. I suggested the fact that the company was even taking on temps was a good sign, which shows that I didn't know anything either. I wished them luck. It seems they really needed it.
