Hello everyone


Please complete the survey

http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/WX5TH35


I?m hoping to find out if a new business offering Scandinavian design products for babies and toddlers in Crystal Palace might be a success. You do not have to live in Crystal Palace to answer.


The idea is to supply lovely colourful Scandinavian brands of clothing and toys. Scandinavian design is very popular the world over and offers an alternative to pink and blue kids clothes.


It's a new idea so we've designed a short - only 10 questions - survey to help us get an idea of whether the business might work or not.


We would greatly appreciate your help and all information entered is anonymous and your details won?t be shared with anyone.


Many thanks for your time!


Annette

Not meaning to be rude, but how is it a new idea?


Have seen a great kids' clothing shop selling Danish and other Skandi designs disappear from East Dulwich Road for want of custom (much to my chagrin, it was a great place to get gifts for the nieces et al). Actually, am I going mad, is there a place on Melbourne Grove?


Are you going to be selling anything unique to you? New designers?


I like Scandinavian design, but wouldn't travel to Crystal Palace for it - if you have a unique offering though, I'd certainly check you out online.

I do love nice kids clothes


But i'd be wary of any venture in the CP area. We hardly ever shop there now, as the parking and traffic are so bad. We and many parents I know avoid the place. It also doesn't feel that child friendly


And the thing about shops is; location, location, location


Do you have extensive retail experience ?


Good luck though in whatever you do

    • 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?
