Another Town Centre Shop Is Shut Down
 

Target Technics in the centre of Accrington has now closed down, i went past on thursday and it was empty. I know alot of people do not agree with the sale of guns etc, but Target Technics has been in Accrington for years and its just a further example of yet another long standing shop closing down.

WOW, i genuinely didnt see that coming.

Thought that would be one of those shops that would be thier forever.

Re: Another Town Centre Shop Is Shut Down
 

I've never noticed it either, and I drive past there 3 times a week :confused:

Re: Another Town Centre Shop Is Shut Down
 

i'm worse than that, must have walked past it a few times last year, going to "Clarks":o

Re: Another Town Centre Shop Is Shut Down
 

Don't worry cashy its your age:D

Re: Another Town Centre Shop Is Shut Down
 

either that or no interest whatsoever in "guns" n the like.;)

Although i live in Accy I no longer work in the town however went into the towm centre and the Arndale centre and the town is dying. It's so sad to see all the empty shops although as they are mostly the multi nationals I guess it's no different them every other high street. The problem is Accrington is not large enough for the remaining shops to have enough pulling power compared to our larger neighbours or the out of town outlets

Re: Another Town Centre Shop Is Shut Down
 

on the bright side if more shops shut in the arndale it may be too much of an expense to keep it open for a small amount of shops forcing the ones left to take over teh pound and charity shops leaving teh arndale empty and ready for demoloshing

that arndale center alone was teh begining af teh death of accrington town center and the final kick in teh nuts was when all teh big names pulled out tehir shops and moved them to whitebirk

Re: Another Town Centre Shop Is Shut Down
 

Its like a ghost town now... and it will only get worse: dread to think what it will be like in a few months:

Re: Another Town Centre Shop Is Shut Down
 

Hopefully if all the big chains move out some quality local shops will get a chance?

Re: Another Town Centre Shop Is Shut Down
 

i can remember when accy had loads of those sam, sadly they all died off, when the "Whitebirks" n such came to pass, don't think much chance of a revival, though it would be nice.

Re: Another Town Centre Shop Is Shut Down
 

me neither neither neither neither

Re: Another Town Centre Shop Is Shut Down
 

can think of any : good quality local shops:

Re: Another Town Centre Shop Is Shut Down
 

I wonder how many years it will be before Accrington does not have a town centre?

Re: Another Town Centre Shop Is Shut Down
 

at this rate, not long :(

Re: Another Town Centre Shop Is Shut Down
 

What exactly do you think is keeping the town centre going?
Fresh air?
So if Boots and M and S pack up shop that would be a good thing?
You really are absolutely clueless........

Re: Another Town Centre Shop Is Shut Down
 

I've heard that 'JJB' is close to going aswell, fair enough I never personally shopped there but people do shop there (or should I say did)

In a few years, Accrington is going to be nothing more than a shoe/charity/pound shop town, to be honest, It's not really worth the effort going down now. I'd much rather go shopping in Blackburn.

Re: Another Town Centre Shop Is Shut Down
 

I heard that the shoe shop in the arndale is also going to shut: another one bites the dust: Not good is it....
