Goes to show that if you offer a decent product you can still be successful even in times as tough as this. I wish them look but I fear your prediction of instant success may be a little premature just yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big queue so obviously very popular. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was more referring to the fact they've been successful enough in Ramsey to consider setting up another premises. I agree that its no guarantee the Douglas shop will work but Rory does put in the hard work and its a good product so hopefully the move will pay off for them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He at least seems to have caught the entrepreneurial spirit without being a monstrous load mouthed bell-end like his old man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not quite sure how. Owned by the same people that own the pizza place in Ramsey next to the old Nightlife building. Not so sure about Gelatory and success. Decent product but helps when you have significant amounts of bank of mum and dad cash behind you. Actually didn't know until I saw that announcement that Guys & Dolls had gone. Seemed to just constantly hang on by their fingernails although suspect similar to what we were saying yesterday, at or near retirement age and can't be bothered any longer.

Guys and Dolls were on the road to ruin when the clown that ran it alienated a large portion of his clientele. Plus he had no experience in running a club and basically ran it into the ground Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
