Having recently returned from a holiday in Norway , where i was renting self catering accomidation , i had a seven eleven just up the road and it was brilliant , open 24hours a day with all the essentials and snacks that you could ask for as well as magazines , dvds , phone cards, it was hell of a handy and you do use it late at night quite often, Surley there has to be a market for a small shop like this in Lerwick ?

The south end definitely benefits from having the Levenwick shop open at ungodly hours, when I was a young chap I usually stopped the taxi so I could get some lucozade and a curly wurly to stave off the hangover, never worked.

 

Only problem with having a 24/7 shop in Lerwick is it'll be surrounded by bairns, drunks or drunk bairns and that's not very inviting to someone wanting to nip in for a loaf of bread at 1am on their way back from a late shift.

Well people have to learn to drink responsibly and if they decided to harass the customers or staff in a 24hr shop , im sure the police would be notified , as for the bairns they should be tucked up in bed at a respectable time of nite according to thier age and they certainly shouldnt be drunk , however i know it happens and its a serious problem here in the isles , but it shouldnt prevent us getting the services we require. But i dont think we will be getting a 24hr shop anytime soon but if we did i think the best place would be near the harbour to get the trade from sailing boats and other vessels , Don leslies ?

Guest don't know
...they do say on thier sign at the entrance that they are open from 6am till 11pm...

Does the big sign at the entrance not say 6am - midnight?

I believe that is what they're planning to be open in the near future.
