Extensions and expansions on LL

[karter]

Despite the downturn in the economy there seems to be changes on LL. Ludlow is expanding into the old bookies next door and Celestial is closing down for a couple of weeks to do a refurb and extension to the rear. So much for estate agents and gift shops clsoing down. It seems to be going the other way. Nice. Sean, when's the expansion?

I'm very expansive after extending myself over several pints on LL.

moving out of one shop into another next door doesn't seem like much expansion as they are not keeping the original. The only thing that makes sense is buying the place if they got the freehold. this always makes sense for businesses in the long term over renting.

Now that Ludlow lettings have moved up into their new premises by filmnight, what is to become of the old Ludlow building. There is alot of work going on in there.

Anybody?

[seanmlow]

we have just moved sales and lettings into one shop, to save having two. Not really expansion, just ease...

[karter]

Hey Sean, i think i may have said this before, did you know there is a gigantic sign above your new signage saying 'acquired for expansion'... as acedout point out though it makes sense to own the freehold and not pay rent .

Do you know what is going on in your old lettings building? Come on...:)

and Franklins are also in the process of opening their new "food from the home counties" shop?

and the bakers is due to open soon

I see the Franklin's shop now has the signage done....so opening cannot be far away? That stretch of LL is going to be quite the mini-Knightsbridge soon innit? >:D
