Van Wilder Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 They had a 6 month temporary lease. If it did well then the lease would have been continued for another 6 months. Although it's not financially sustainable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToadKiller Dog Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 I thought all local woolies in east of scotland and south fife were to be stocking hearts gear and tac ,thats how i read the deal with woolies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucky Thompson Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Did they ever have a customer?It was quiet when it first opened, but it seemed to pick up. I was in the Gyle a couple of weeks ago and it had a steady stream of people going in and out. Now the Livi shop, that was different, every time I was at Livi I never once saw a person in it.

I knew about the 'Woolies' deal, I didn't know if all the other stores would be closed as a result of this deal. The reason I asked is because I don't believe there's a 'Woolies' in the Gyle or anywhere surrounding like there is at the almondvale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunxjambo Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 short term lease; RI were lined up a while ago. small shop but was busy. better than having NO shop gripers, (like the docksiders.) but given the current climate, the negativity train is is a runaway.

Rawrrrrrrr Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Theres not but the decision is no surprise Operating a store in the gyle isnt cheap, the turnover of the store simply wont have been worth continuing with Id not be surprised if the St James shop goes soon as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stirlo Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 I'm sure I heard someone from Hearts on Talk 107 a few weeks ago denying that any of the other shops were going to close following the closure of the Livingston store - in fact he specifically mentioned what a great success the Gyle store had been.

The great thing about Glasgow is that if there's a nuclear attack it'll look exactly the same afterwards. I am guessing at what Towzer is thinking but suspect he possibly thinks the following may be more accurate - The great thing about Glasgow is that if there's a nuclear attack it'll look much better afterwards.

hughesie27 Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 After work one night last week I overheard a guy(works in the Gyle Store) talking to a colleague on the phone talking about stock and saying they had 18 white tracksuits or away tops and the stock count suggested that they should have 120.
