Places are going to find it more and more expensive to have the lights and heating on in the late hours just to serve a handful of customers. I think we’ll see more looking to close early to save costs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

finlo Posted September 30, 2022 Author Share Posted September 30, 2022 It's looked closed for years though I noticed a few weeks ago that the showroom had been tarted up and rebranded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not, it’s the economic climate. However IOMG are quick to hang on to the success stories, the favoured businesses. When the economy hits the skids, they won’t want to listen to businesses concerns. Plus some IOMG cheerleaders will accuse those doing down closed businesses as scaremongering.
