NoTail Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 Apparently the guys in hi viz are checking the steelwork which may need taking down as it has been exposed to the elements too long and there are questions about whether it is level. Told to me by a reliable source. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hissingsid Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 Well there will be an empty shop going if anyone decides to step up and start up with other suppliers. Do the Corporation own those shops ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do the Corporation own those shops ? I’m fairly certain they own willaston & pulrose buildings but we don’t know terms of lease & whether RB will rip out fittings, ovens etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevster Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 1 hour ago, Banker said: guaranteeing more customers for bacon baps etc You need to sell a lot of bacon baps to cover rent, rates, staff costs, insurance, electricity, gas, water, etc Not much spent on bacon though if the Castletown branch is anything to go by 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selling a business (or a company, or part) as a going concern is a highly complex area, lots of legal fees, accountants' fees, warranties, undertakings, disclosures and it is only one element of a bigger concern. If I was the owner of RB, I would want to sell the whole lot, or nothing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it’s a prime spot in centre of town, ideal for flats. Ramsey commissioners should be buying for social housing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
