Brand new bike store for the taking


Recommended Posts

We've been idiots. We've ordered, and built, a bike store that is too big for our side return. This is the shed:

Unfortunately, now it's built, the only way to get out out through the house is to dismantle it.


We're so keen to get rid of it, that we'll give it away. The catch is you'll need to take it apart yourself. Also, you'll probably need to buy a new piece of felt for the roof, because I don't think it will survive being taken off and reattached.


On the upside, we've drilled all the annoying holes in the frame, so you won't need to.


Here's a photo of it as is. We didn't get round to putting the front bolt on. We'd realised our mistake by then.


PM me if you want it!


Thanks.

Me again. It just occurred to me that someone may want the second shed we bought and don't want ... (the shame, oh the shame of it).


We are planning to return it, but will need to pay postage.


So just in case anyone wants one of these - http://www.shedstore.co.uk/storage/bike-storage/shire/shire-bike-store-6-by-3 - , rather than pay ?139 plus delivery charge, you could take ours off our hands for ?120, and ditch the delivery charge plus the waiting time. Everyone wins, that way.


Just don't point and laugh at us in the street if you see us again.


Anyway, PM me if that appeals.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
