jackwhite Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 Bathurst chippy offered for let on Facebook. Whilst I know the opinions of some on the place, I think it’s a difficult location to make it work. Next ones will be tenant number 4 in not that long of a period, from memory anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very rarely seen it open in last few years, there’s very limited parking around the terrace in a similar residential area but always busy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think they were trying to do something different from The Terrace (which I think is a fantastic business). 2. Terrace for me are long established and in a more prominent and visible location. admittedly there are things that could be done to help with both, but just general observations.

WTF Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 Just now, jackwhite said: Fair comment. 2 things I’d say: 1.

Terrace for me are long established and in a more prominent and visible location. to add to this the terrace has a robinsons, coop, chemist which are reasons to be up there and pass the chippy door, they are also on a main route through town. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Wright Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 I see that Time Out, the noodle bar/Chinese, which started in Castletown, then expanded into Castle Street Douglas, is opening a new branch on North Quay.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never seemed to be a proper commitment to make it work. Never even had opening times published anywhere or even on the door. Confuses me why people go into business, then make such fundamental mistakes then wonder why it didn't work out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kopek Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 You're right but I don't think it was their main employment? Park Road School closing probably didn't help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
