Looking for shop premises


NaturesPurest

Recommended Posts

It's also well out of the way, nowhere near Lordship Lane or North Cross Road, and hardly likely to get much passing trade .... you'd have to be a specialist destination shop for it to have any chance of working, I'd say.


It could/should have worked as a restaurant, given its location opposite the Rye, but - it didn't .....

I heard Prettys grocers was up for grabs.....woohhhh, just tying to keep it light hearted!!

Speaking of the gardens cafe (electric engineers), it's a big unit, I wonder if the landlord has considered splitting it in two?

Blackbird rent the shop, the property is being sold tenanted.

Thanks everyone for your help so far. I work for a company called Natures Purest and we manufacture and sell baby products (toys, clothing, bedding, gifts etc) made from organic and ethical materials. www.naturespurest.co.uk if you'd like to check us out.

We like the look of East Dulwich as it is obviously very popular with families.

As for rent and rates, they can be shockingly high and some ask for a premium (a one-off payment, just for the privilege of paying rent each month).

I'm very biased but I think you come and check out lovely Honor Oak Park! It's only a mile from Lordship Lane, loads of families and I bet your products would go down a storm here.


Our little parade of shops includes a deli, an organic beauty salon, a little boutique with homeware, clothes and jewellery, a Sainsbury's Local, a tapas bar and a new sourdough gourmet pizza place alongside the usual newsagents, chippy etc.


I'm sure there are a few vacant units at the moment. Might be worth a look.

It's presumably not available to be rented by somebody else, then. Glad Blackbird are staying!

It didn't because in line of sight 400mtres there was The Caf? on the Rye..

selling tea cakes and snacks at half the price.


The electrical shop is on a busy main road whereas The Caf? on the Rye has a safe area

for the kiddies to run around and where people can exercise their pooches.


and with the Clock House serving meals all day the electrical shop did/does not stand a chance.


Simples.

It does stand a chance if the right business goes into it, what holds this back is the extortionate rent being asked for by the landlord coupled to the rates. You need to turn over approx ?45,000 per annum just to cover rent and rates there before you earn a penny. Am surprised the previous tenant survived so long before giving up.

    • He seemed to me to be fully immersed in the Jeremy Corbyn ethos of the Labour Party. I dint think that (and self describing as a Marxist) would have helped much when Labour was changed under Starmer. There was a purge of people as far left as him that he was lucky to survive once in my opinion.
    • I perceive the problem.simply as spending too much without first shoring up the economy.  If the government had reduced borrowing,  and as much as most hate the idea, reduced government deiartment spending (so called austerity) and not bowed to union pressures for pay rises, then encouraged businesses to grow, extra cash would have entered the coffers and at a later stage when the economy was in a stronger position rises in NI or taxes would have a lesser impact, but instead Reeves turned that on its head by increasing ni which has killed growth, increased prices and shimmied the economy.  What's worse is that the perceived 20 billion black hole has increased to 30 billion in a year. Is there a risk that after 5 years it could be as high as 70 billion ???     
    • That petition is bananas.   If you want a youth centre there pay the landlord the same rent a Londis would and build it yourself or shut the f**k up to be honest. Wasting our MPs time with this trivial nonsense is appalling. If your kids are still out at 1am on a school night you've got bigger problems than vapes and booze and hot sausage rolls.
