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.

    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
    • Oh dear, hope you are OK, I've had it three times and it was worse each time, but not a patch on many of those who got it before they vac' role out. Not commenting on the discussion as I got confused many days ago beyond the reminder that Corbyn would not compromise and the harm that could lead to him, the party and regards Brexit pre and post referendum the country.  Starmer goes too far the other way at times.  
    • I am  ill in bed with Covid. It's not that I "can't be bothered" to read things. I am feeling crap and don't have the mental  energy at the moment. I am not "brushing stuff aside and pleading ignorance." I am truthfully saying when I don't presently know enough about something to be able to comment. I have always been very careful to try to  differentiate between fact and opinion in both  my posts and other people's, and I am not clear what your point is. And I am certainly not trying to wind anybody up. This is a forum. If you don't want to respond to my posts, that's up to you. I'm not sure why you feel the need to announce it.   
    • @NewWave I know how you feel. Like you, I've lived and spent prolonged periods of time in some pretty crazy places and always thought I could handle a bunch of kids. But, no - they got to me and I was shaking like a leaf afterwards. That's what age does to us.  But I did engage with them, so bear that in mind.  My advice would be to never let anything like that stop you doing the things you love. I'm certainly not going to stop using the park, there's no way they get to take away our cherished spaces!  If you see them, just change tack and keep out of their way. My dog won't even go that way again, so that's that problem solved. (If I see them again, I'm going to keep taking photos from a safe distance).
