TheYellowBox Posted June 1, 2014 Report Share Posted June 1, 2014 See Shoe Zone is having it's normal closing down sale again. Also sports Direct have closed as well, by the looks of things. Sports direct are moving into the retail park I think. I think Perth centre has a really good atmosphere about it on a Saturday. I like Starbucks having the outside tables and when the above 2 shops move out, I'd like to see some similar places in there and make that end of the high street a bit of a cafe end. The sports direct shop is a decent size, so might get a decent company in there. Is there not supposed to be a subway coming soon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carron Posted June 1, 2014 Report Share Posted June 1, 2014 (edited) The shoe shop at the High Street entrance to the St. John's Centre is having a genuine closing down sale (yes they have had closing down sales over the years, but this is a genuine one. The Clydesdale Bank who are currently in South Methven Street, and have been for many years, will be moving to the vacated unit. Â At present the bank has a very limited number of parking spaces at the rear of the bank. Sadly this won't be the case in their new premises.

Lochwinnochsaintee Posted June 1, 2014 Report Share Posted June 1, 2014 Is there not supposed to be a subway coming soon? A subway? Edinburgh's just managed to get their trams moving so a subway for Perth must be far far off indeed!! Saintdunc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tranmere Saintee Posted June 9, 2014 Report Share Posted June 9, 2014 http://www.westernsaab.co.uk/ Cheers, had it confirmed this morning that they, along with a lot of the major car dealerships, are really struggling due to making most of their money in the past from the financing of cars rather than the actual car sales and more & more people are using alternative methods of financing their new cars.

Carron Posted June 15, 2014 Report Share Posted June 15, 2014 Was out and about this morning. Passed the former McConnells shop in South Methven Street. A notice in the window, application for Paddy Power. This is a licensing application. Just what we need.  ANOTHER BOOKIES.  William Hill a couple of doors up, and a Ladbrokes across the road. saintgscot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely if we all put rejections in due to amount of bookies the licence will get refuses. But then there will probably just be another cafe open up there.

Cagey Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 Must be a demand or they would not open so many shops. There is also a huge surge in online gambling. The bookie is always the winner but some think they can beat him. Carron 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chips Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 I could state the obvious that we have enough betting shops in Perth but i think i would rather have another bookies rather than have another empty unit. Theres plenty on here and around the city moaning about the amount of premises sitting empty and being an eyesore. rickardo and dan loves saints 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
