daveh Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 Well, that wasn't opened too long. It will get to the stage where, apart from charity shops, there will be almost as many shops closed as there are open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a very good business plan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooney1 Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 Talking of use it or lose it, I've often wondered why Flames is unusually empty most of the time? As far as I can see they've done everything right and the food/menu is good. A location thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully they can hold out a bit longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah possibly, although the museum cafe has kept busy without M with people going there specifically for food, so I don't get why flames isn't?

It will get to the stage where, apart from charity shops, there will be almost as many shops closed as there are open. As Poseidon said use them or lose them! The problem with 'the street' is so many premises are unavailable to buy! The older generation are keeping hold of their premises(nothing wrong with that) and charging high rents for there use. Add the council business 'rates' charge to that then why would any young budding retailer want to start up in business. Thats not even including the threat of the internet and Tesco(old argument I know but still a fact) or the times of osterity that we live in. Several people have tried but its just not worth the risk thats blatantly obvious to anyone really. 'The Street' is only going to get worse, certainly in the near future which is an absolute shame. Anyway, sorry I know thats off topic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anderslea21 Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 mikeyboy i know the bacon rolls were awfull in the windy dog.

What puts me off the street is parking - pay on the pier, hillhead then negotiate lanes, or circle trying to get a free space. Just easier nipping into bolts or tesco...
