Am I being cynical, here ?

We’ve had a pop up shop at broadway for Xmas before

 

I would imagine sorting out the lease on a permanent unit takes quite a while, I doubt it is something that could have been done in the space of the last few days since Rhodes has been back.

 

Is it a permanent shop or just until Christmas? January sales will consist of city t-shirts, training tops, tracksuits and Knight-Percival

 

It happens every year. If the centre has an empty unit they will put them in it rather than blocking the mall itself

 

Yes, you're paranoid

Whatever the reason I think it's good. We should be an active part of the community in many ways.

 

Difference being that previously it was stipulated that it was a 'pop up' shop whereas this time it reads very much like it is going to be a permanent fixture.

 

No need to apologise to me or anyone! It's a good debate given the drop in support I hope we can pay the rent!!

 

Are you suggesting someone would buy. NKP.

 

We could end up on that BBC series ------ Cant pay we take it away .

 

Problem with that Offy is the bailiffs can only seize assets

 

Given that someone paid money for Poleon, I'd say it's not beyond the realms of possibility...

 

Strange decision to open a club shop when your customers are at your throat! Could be a disaster if results don't improve.

On the positive side,Rahic walks away and booooooooooom sales soar!!!

 

A strange decision given the rent in Broadway I should think will be high..unless the council are letting it out cheap to fill units.

 

We've had a pop up shop at Christmas in the Broadway since the Phil Parkinson days, since it opened...

 

Might even be rent free as an empty unit doesn't encourage footfall to the rest of the development, something like a City shop might.
I've a mate who works 3 months a year doing Christmas pop ups in high streets and has yet to pay rent, just pays utilities and business rates. Usually has 3 or 4. Spends a month a year in China buying crap and the other 8 months playing golf, and deciding what colour Bentley to order next.

 

Jubbly.
