Great to hear of job opportunities. But worrying that it is considered newsworthy in the first place.
Probably newsworthy to the people in Ramsgate who no longer have a shoe shop.
No use to me, as no shop sells my size.
Haha your right Peter!
Closed a few months back as the rent was too much
Yes you’re right Peter. Harbour Street one closed, I know Shoeworld near Waitrose was closing last time I looked and I think even the sports shop a few doors along is going or has gone as its relocating to The Link bit of WWX. Shoe shops in High Streets seem to be getting rarer. Shame, but I suppose that’s called progress…
Shoeworld is now a carpet shop. Sports one is still trading
‘Breaking News’
“12 jobs created with Deichmann store”
After ‘Outfit’ pulled out & made 16 redundancies
Can’t really see a plus there
Anyone else?
Yes The Central Scrutinizer – at least a company has taken over the empty store and created some jobs rather than it remaining empty as are other ones like Laura Ashely etc.
How long do you think it will take the greedy landlords to price Deichmann out the game?
They seem to have done a very good job so far with most top retailers
