bigstu Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 Why do they not reduce the rates ? Every other industry is affected by supply and demand, so if the demand is low the shop rents should go down. Simple economics. Small business rate reductions are covered by the Scottish Government.... If a business cannot operate "bricks and mortar" with these allowances, then they can never operate in the real world.... Online is the way to go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish i was Joe McGurn Posted February 5, 2012 Report Share Posted February 5, 2012 DVD rental is going down the pan. You can download them straight to you tv with little effort. Drive thru is mostly sunbeds now. Seem to do more business with them than with rentals. Gap, you can buy white t shirts anywhere for a lot less cost. Matalan would be a big place to fill, took a while to put something in there after William lows left it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

null vier Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 Ring O Bells had been struggling for a while. Some Saturday nights it was completely empty. It used to be a good pub back in the day. Soulless shite-holes like That Bar and Sandemans have taken a lot of the business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Patterson Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 Mondo's was always terrible. When it first opened as Barcode it was cracking. Battle Of The Bands was always a laugh. Played their rakes of times. Unfortunately as the local band scene in Perth slowly died in it's arse, so did Barcode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When they changed to Mondos it was always destined for failure - style bar indeed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
