Lila's opening in 117 LL (formerly Callows)

I've bought things from all 3 existing jewellers in the area, they are all lovely shops offering quite different things. I particularly like Zara Taylor, for really affordable things, I've bought some really unique Xmas presents in there recently.


Good luck to the new shop, I think it's great seeing new businesses open up, makes a nice change from seeing them shut down!

Ha Ha and Hear Hear... if an independent store opened selling hand-made sunshine for 50% less than Iceland, am sure there'd be a cheeky complaint about increased traffic, how this new store is going to drive other stores out of business, how they'd really fancy a new store selling widgets instead... etc.


Ron70 is right, we should all cheer up in time for Xmas!

I suppose it's better than saying 'divorced, bankrupt or dead', which I guess is how most jewellery, especially rings, gets to be second hand

    • Lordship Lane has two dry cleaners, three pizza places and an Italian selling pizza, two burger places, three bakeries, two hardware (ish, I'm thinking AJ Farmer here), God knows how many coffee and charity shops, two Italians, three nail salons, five wine shops... Where was the abject outrage when Dynamic Vines opened up literally next door to Cave de Bruno? But I don't see his customers decamped next door - no, those stalwarts are still out in force every night.  In Roman times all businesses were clustered by product. It's what kept prices down. Same in any market you go to abroad, they're all selling the same things next to each other.  Why is everyone being so hard on this new place? It's called healthy competition - you can't curtail the expansion of your business on the basis you that might hurt someone else's. 
    • I have a new fixation so any available, please let me know.  Thanks.
    • In restaurant terms I would say a chain manifests when the motivation is no longer “we are a couple/small group who have an idea and love food” who open a restaurant, them another and then a few more BUT THEN PIVOT to “we need capital to rollout out new restaurants so we have leveraged the help of the following investors”  that is the moment it stops being about the chef/food on the plate and becomes about the spreadsheet  so it is POSSIBLE  for a restaurant to have 50 branches and not be a chain - but I can’t think of any  I don’t know chango - by based on the number of outlets they appear to have just crossed/or are about to cross that line
