Unknown user Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 4 hours ago, Samuel Camazzola said: We had a club store in the St James' Centre (looking out towards Multrees Walk). I'm sure there was a dispute with the rental as Vlad had stopped paying it. Yeah, because we were losing money, old Vlad didnt feel he should pay if he's losing money. We had to pay out for rent, rates, wages, taxes and utilities on a city centre unit. That means every day they needed decent business just to break even, and they weren't getting that. We have a store available and online facilities, people can get what they want from us. It just doesn't make financial sense for a club of our size to have a city centre shop. I worked in Rembrandtplein in Amsterdam for a few years, I watched with inerest as they put together the Ajax shop over the road, they spent ages doing it. About 2 years it lasted IIRC, maybe less. Even the Ajaxes of the world who get decent levels of football tourism realise it's not worth the expense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A permanent shop isn't required but someone with a bit of marketing know-how could probably get a temporary stall on Princes Street on match days selling merchandise and advertising the game to tourists and casual fans. A stall at the Christmas Market might work as well, we might not have a massive global appeal but if you were a tourist at Christmas or Hogmanay and were looking for gifts to take home to your football loving children etc. merchandise with a distinctive foreign club crest on it is something people would probably buy. I've certainly done that when abroad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast Boy Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Online shopping means these sort of outlets are generally pointless nowadays. The only one that would make any money, is ironically the one that would cost the most rates; the airport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
droid Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 The only external Hearts shop I'd like to see is in Edinburgh Airport a fantastic opportunity for passing trade, however it's rumoured that rental fees far outweigh potential profits.

I remember being in on the day of a Scotland v Wales rugby international and all the Welsh were mad for the Hearts stuff, buying up hats, scarves and tops. We even had a Hearts rugby top at the time. I actually still have the Hearts rugby style top from Burtons. Occasionally it gets an outing to a match in winter on account of it's long sleeves.

It's faded a bit now and the collar has a pinkish tinge where the dye has run after so many washings, but it's still in good nick and still fits I'm pleased to say. Could be that I bought a size larger than I needed at the time though. 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the dark one would make a lovely kit I think. Doubt we'll ever get anything quite as edgy as that though. Wouldn't mind a cobbled pattern or something like the blue away top we had a couple of season ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
