Bubble Bear Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 I have been made aware today, that a local electrical retailer has had extensive talks with an electrical conglomerate from the UK mainland, and is potentially close to doing a deal for their whole retail and service outlet!!!

Guest CyprusPluto Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 These large companies obviously see something worthwhile in Shetland. The future of the local economy must be better than the Councillors and SIC would have us believe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this true ro is it the usual Shetland chinese whispers? I did hear in the pub last week that either Curry's or Comet, can't remember which were up looking at the Smith & Harper building.

The future of the local economy must be better than the Councillors and SIC would have us believe I don't think so. More to do with cash rich nationals with spare dosh looking to take a punt rather than give it to the taxman. They've done the majority of UK potential locations and are now looking at what else they can do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJ Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 I did hear in the pub last week that either Curry's or Comet, can't remember which were up looking at the Smith & Harper building. But surely no one up here would put up with the prices & service? Actually after thinking how fond folk are up here of their hp maybe they'd be perfect.

Magnie-na Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 I'm looking forward to SS coming. Have used local opticians a couple of years ago and ended with useless prescription glasses! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
