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 .....

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.

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

    • I’m not a Gail’s fan but there’s no reason a business shouldn’t open on Christmas Day. However, nobody should be compelled to work the day which, given the widespread coverage of Gail’s questionable employment practices, has to be a possibility here.  The only business I ever use on the 25th is maybe a pub and that’s a rarity these days but buses running would be very welcome for visiting etc. But the swings in the park should definitely remain chained up. Are parks even open on Christmas Day?
    • To be honest, pal, it's not good being a fan of a local business and then not go there. One on hand, the barber shop literally next door to Romeo Jones started serving coffee. The Crown and Greyhound and Rocca serve coffee. Redemption Coffee opened up not far away, and then also Megan's next door to that. DVillage was serving coffee (but wasn't very popular), as was Au Ciel (which is). Maybe also Heritage Cheese, I don't know. There's also Flotsam and Jetsam doing coffee and sandwiches at Dulwich Picture Gallery in the other direction. The whole of Dulwich Village serves coffee. And yet on the other hand, there are enough punters to support all good coffee shops. With the exception of Rocca and Megan's (which are both big spaces) and C&G (which does coffee like everything else - slow and with bad service), all these places regularly get queues out the door. Gail's often has big queues and yet very few people crossed the street to Romeo Jones (which was much better)... Half the staff at Gail's are perfectly fine and efficient. The other half are pretty offhand and rude. It's certainly not welcoming or friendly service. But they're certainly hard working, and no doubt raking the money in for Luke Johnson...
    • Well according to a newspaper article, Gail’s is opening 10 shops in London,,, yup Dulwich is named 10/5 I seem to recall with others in London opening at 7 am…!, Guess that is to capture workers coming off all night shift. Offering free mince pies until they run out.. So very sad to hear about Romeo Jones… been a customer since the opening, any idea where Patrick has gone or details… please pm me.    What is going to be in its place…. Will be around in Jan…umm village is changing….
    • interesting the police said "the car was in demand at the moment" what make/model is that?
