Town Centre Changes

[Neil]

.... The Victorian architecture is there what is missing is a touch of class perhaps...

Is that in the shops or the customers?

Leeds is thriving, despite being in Yorkshire.

Another well established shop to close, this time its The Wool Shop on Bank Street.

A notice in the window says it will close on Dec 1st, but gives the impression that if they manage to sell the stock, it will close earlier.

Real shame!

I was once a knitter and used that shop often.
Sadly the craft declined when it became cheaper to buy ready made machined knitwear.

The Art Shop just further down on Bank Street is also closing, having a retirement sale now.

As expected JJB now shut.

you could actually fit the whole outdoor market into that place

Was talking to one of the staff the other day. They think a couple of the other sports chains are interested. Would think Sports Direct would probably be best fit.

Maxine the Hairdresser in Market Hall has gone we noticed today.

 

[flashy]

Sports Direct took over the old JJB shop in Blackburn too

 

[esteemedjuju]

Another one bites the dust

Yet another shop to close in Accy JJB sports just been on the news Accy one of the shops to shut

 

[lindsay ormerod]

Always sad to see another store go that way, I feel for the staff, it's a bloody awful way to lose your job, and thru no fault of your own.

Click on the thumbnail, then click on the photo after it opens, you will get it in a new window, click on the photo in the new window and it blows up and is perfectly legible.

20 JJB stores have been bought by Sports Direct, plus the website. The remaining 133 stores are closed.

I hope B&M Bargains move into JJB, their current store is rather small for my discount needs.

Failing that, perhaps the Pound Bakery can expand upstairs and provide a wider range of baked goods.

 

[Boeing Guy]

Maybe Maundy Relief could take over, they seem to need the space
