Really interested in this too - good luck!

That's a really good point, and also such a shame too. I wouldn't suggest they fill the place with "handmade", but at least a few items dotted around would help. For me, if I want the type of items currently stocked in Peccadillos, I may as well go on Amazon. But if there were different items...

Great that they are continuing to trade and stay open, but always thought the business was a bit of a lost opportunity. They do have quirky little items, but the last time I was in there it's all mass produced wholesale items which are available in most towns or tourist attractions. They've...

We often go to Trentham or Wolseley Centre as a little family, but also wonder that there has to be more options than this locally to us! Where else is there for a day out suitable for both a child (18 months) & a dog... Roughly up to an hour from Stafford? Any suggestions you have would be...

Facebook suggests it's going to be a parents "stay & play" type place.

That must be your excess, surely - as their website quotes £225 for a repair! https://www.autoglass.co.uk/what-will-it-cost/windscreen-repair-cost/

Whilst losing the Redhill on its own is no great loss, we've also lost the Kings Horse too so it is getting harder to find a "family friendly" pub. The family market obviously isn't making much money at the moment.

For years, it feels as though I've driven into a retail park and seen a little gazebo/tent with "windscreen chip repair" on it and just ignored it - until this week, when I could do with their services. Yet Google turns up no relevant search results. Do these things still exist post-COVID...

That's a surprise, as the times I've been there recently they didn't appear to have enough stock to fill the current warehouse.

Just a name change really, although I'd question why bother! It's true about the poor quality though. When we were looking earlier in the year, was really surprised at the condition of the model we went to see. I get that it's potentially wasted money making them perfect when they could be sat...

I'm all up for bashing SBC/SCC wherever necessary, but they get far too much stick for retail matters that have nothing to do with them. For Stafford to have a Department Store, it needs a private organisation to decide to invest £££ to create one, buy the stock, train the staff etc. There's...

In developer speak - it has bus station, supermarkets, town centre shops, pharmacy, pub, fish & chip shop etc... I'm sure they'd love to sell it - what are they going to do with it?! Bring back Sketchleys too! Whilst Timpson's are lauded as "one of the good ones", their decision to buy Mister...

I think it's got the potential to end up being for retirement living i.e. McCarthy Stone. Great city centre location, right next to amenities and transport. Next door at the Guildhall about to be developed into residential too over the next few years. Potential to even include all of Broad...

Just under £1m for that much land in the middle of a town centre is quite cheap I would have thought. Probably £250-£300k to demolish the entire building. If the council had bought this instead of redoing the paving slabs in Market Square, they could have provided a green space in the middle...
