Sally's of Dulwich closed

[tfwsoll]

The florist, Sally's of Dulwich, has moved out and I have heard that it's going to be an ice cream parlour. Does anyone have any details?

[Curmudgeon]

Really?

Was open last weekend

What a shame... They were a little hit and miss but pleasant

[kittysailing]

Not ice-cream Iceland..

[PSJ]

If you go past the shop at the moment, the entire floor has already been removed!

[the-e-dealer]

Sounds Like a Fringe event to me!

They've moved the shop up the Plough end of the Lane. There's a note in the window with the details.

Definitelyan ice cream parlour guys

Is Scoop moving there?

[LondonMix]

The rumour is Ben and Jerry's but who knows... I hope its scoop

[davidh]

is the ice cream place up towards ed station still there?

[PSJ]

Don't think it is a B&Js. Possibly Haagen Dazs. Sally mentioned to me that the ice cream company had a branch in Hampstead. Might be a Marine Ices or Oddono. Can't see it working there though...

That's strange, because there's a florist there already - on the corner opposite the library .....

[reetpetite]

Why would they move up to the Plough end of LL when there is a florist already there!

[Sue]

My point exactly!

The other florist can't be exactly delighted, if this is true.

... including where they're moving to, something about operating out of some other business, and a telephone number and email address.

[reetpetite]

Sorry Sue to repeat what you said , I didn't read all your post .

[grecian girl]

If it's an ice cream parlour in NW3 then its poss Gelato Mio -one near my studios in Belsize Park has a wooden swing outside!

[lane lover]

Its not unusual for similar businesses to lie close to one another. The average consumer doesn?t know exactly what they want: they want to buy flowers and clusters generally gravitate customers towards the area as they know they have options when they get there. It benefits all parties and should also improve the level of service (and price, quality etc). Think Hatton Gardens for diamonds, as well as electronics stores and fast food chains (McDonalds often near KFC).

Another bizarre comment that ice-cream wont work in ED. If I am not mistaken, ED has alot of young families with kids ... so if it were to work in other parts of London, I find it hard to understand why it wont work here. I know its a crappy day today, but in warmer months it should be a big hit! I love ice-cream!

sally is going to be opening a stall in the north cross road market..............

[LondonMix]

Thanks, interesting. DavidH Scoop (on Melbourne Grove) came on the forum a while back and said they had to close for a short while. They want to reopen but they might need to find new premises if I remember correctly.

[pebbles]

I think she's also going to work out of the florist (run by the lovely Paul) next to Barcelona at the top or LL opposite the Harvester.

[m&m fairy]

I thought the lady from Scoop had retired?

[LondonMix]

Not at all. See the thread below where they explained what was going on. They had to close for 6 months as the freeholder wanted to renovate the space above the shop at the end of their lease.

It's going to be an Italian ice cream parlour apparently, and nothing to do with scoop, sadly.
