Think it's going into the outgoing shoe shop on LL isn't it? They still have their closing down sale on so I guess the sweet shop will move in when they vacate. Wonder if the sweetshop has resolved the free labour issues raised on here a while ago?

Good evening all.....


I got the keys to the shop late Friday (very exciting).... only to be greeted by literally no access to the shop... as there appears to be some sort of emergency gas/water or electric works going on ....


Hopefully a ramp will appear tomorrow for my builders to gain access & begin work...


Mr Simms Olde Sweet Shoppe is on its way .....

Looking forward to the shop signage going up next week & ordering all the stock, ready for the opening later this month...

Good evening all....


Spent most of the day with the builders/alarm company.....


I also stood outside the shop & met so, so many excited locals..young & old.... who were more than happy to stop & have a chat, and pop in the shop to have a quick look & confirm their confectionery favourites....


I really can?t wait to be handed the sign off/green light from the build team, who are working so hard to complete the build on time...(nearly there)

Thoroughly inconvenient and potentially unsafe renovation going on today though! So many ladders and the saw on the pavement at one point. Was proving hard for pushchairs and people to get past, let alone the sawdust blowing in eyes. Shame it couldn't have been done at a less busy time for pedestrians!

Good evening,


I?m so sorry to hear that, & offer you my sincere apologies. I take all Health & Safety issues very seriously, & can assure you, I have personally spoken to my builders, who to offer their apologies, for any distress caused.

Hi everyone....

Please pop by & say hi .... great to meet so many lovely people.... & listening to all those confectionery favourites ... not long to go before I open...


Regards

Dara

    • Sorry Sue - me again. This has been on my mind all day, it's a big bug bear of mine. If you don't mind - please can you private message me some of these shops so I can cross reference / add to my AVOID list.  Thanks in advance. Let's make sure this doesn't happen this Christmas, particularly as we head into sales season. Even more problematic in my experience.
    • Pity you didn't quote what you are referring to, Mal. I didn't see the previous post, and my mind is boggling 😮
    • The Cherry Tree was absolutely excellent for a while when a youngish couple ran it and brought in a really good chef. It was them who renamed it The Cherry Tree. They were really turning it around. The chef did fantastic Scotch eggs, and one of the best roasts I've ever had. If memory serves the then owner,  for some reason known only to himself, took a dislike to them and what they were doing and sacked them all. And yes we weren't expecting a top class  meal last Christmas, and we left it too late to book anywhere else, but we weren't expecting it for a hundred pounds EACH to be quite as terrible as it was. Stupid us. Not sure why you are confused by my post, Jazzer? Did I misremember? Now it's got even more confusing because my posts have been merged and your confused emoji is shown at the bottom of the second one instead of the first 🤣
    • Hear hear. Very well said. Thank you and all the best for the year ahead
