HOODLUM65 Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 In place of the Indian takeaway that closed in Princes Street, a Duo2go is soon to open.Would imagine this is a expansion of the Duo already located a few doors away.

Kevin Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 (edited) So Monsoon went due to the high costs imposed by the council on their business tax, the Playhouse has said it will have to close if a new cinema opens up in 'The Mill Quarter' (ffs what a stupid name) and the IMAX people have said they will not transfer it to there from the Playhouse so this council are losing us another innovation. Then we will be busy on here with all the shops closing down in the centre, Debenhams are the next to go I think.....Plus we will lose all those parking spaces and will have to put up with another exorbitant multi storey.

SlickDT Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 I actually think the idea of opening a new cinema is plain stupid. The Playhouse has clearly invested in recent years with introduction of IMAX and the cafe. It's a great wee cinema and the staff are very friendly and helpful. You'd simply be closing one business to open another. Cagey, Tranmere Saintee, Dave H and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find it hard to believe that business rates are too high for the likes of Monsoon yet dross like Shoezone, Officers Club and some phone case shop can manage.

Dave H Posted January 26, 2016 Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 Seen that Officers Club shut down.. I thought the economy is recovering? They say today is better than pre crash in 2007. Certainly don't see it like this or feel it. Â Shops moving out as no one is spending money and in fear of the next round of redundancy. Â Feel for the staff!

Â Feel for the staff!Blue Inc who owned them went into admin and the receivers who are restructuring the company have cast off the Perth store and you can guarantee that the rates will be one of the reasons.
