Another Shop Gone
 
Must be easier to keep listing these in one thread so we can keep track :rolleyes:

Max Spielman has now closed down.

its like doin the old " One potatoe two potatoe" with shops in accy centre.:D

Re: Another Shop Gone
 
Really? I am suprised at that as there is little competition in Accy for them. Not just a refit is it?

It maybe easier listing the ones that are still open !:eek:

Don't think so. They were sticking the notices on the window as we walked past an hour ago. Business transferred to Blackburn.

Good grief! I would have thought that was a going concern.

I'm so fed up with this town.The only thing that thrives are the pound shops and charity shops!

I'm surprised too. I was in there the other day, I use it quite a bit.

Very annoying. First The Works and now this.

Talking of The Works, I was in the one in Ossy Mills at the weekend and I asked the guy on the till in The Works section if they were closing that outlet along with the Accy one.

He said that the one in Ossy Mills is not closing. :)

Course they had competition, Asda.

Re: Another Shop Gone
 
I said they had "little" competition ! And Asda isn't exactly central for a lot of folk.

Lolly 10-03-2008 15:52

Re: Another Shop Gone
 
A supermarket nearby is all the competition anyone needs, be it central to them or not.

It's all rather odd. At the same time all these shops in Hyndburn are closing, Tesco are in various stages of opening 4 shops in the Borough. Only one of these is being opposed by some councillors, and that is on the basis of poor parking and delivery problems on the site. When every other local authority in the country is now actively opposing the siting of Tesco's withing their jurisdiction, HBC appears to be encouraging them. Bonkers, as usual.

Im not surprised that shop as closed, would have thought it would have shut ages ago, with being able to develop ya own photos now, theres no need for photo shops anymore:(

lindsay ormerod 10-03-2008 17:13

Re: Another Shop Gone
 
Not everyone uses digital cameras, and having the service there was valuable to those that still prefer getting their photos developed. Ah well I suppose it's more business for us at Boots !:o

WillowTheWhisp 10-03-2008 17:16

Re: Another Shop Gone
 
Ossy Mills isn't exactly central for The Works either - it was much handier for me in town.

mani 10-03-2008 17:52

Re: Another Shop Gone
 
i used that shop the other day to have passport pics taken. and i dont like to have a photo printer as its just another gadget i dont really need i'd rather go asda/max and print out pics when i need them

Burnley's the works closed last week, I read that the company had gone into liquidation and the staff at each store have been given very little notice when it has been time for their shops to shut

Out of curiosity did anyone use that shop to get things personalised, ie photos on t-shirt etc ?

Re: Another Shop Gone

I dont even know where it is, I must go round Accy with my eyes shut. Having said that I don't shop around, just get what I want then bog off back home.
