Stafford shops opening - Turning into a boom town?

[Lucy]

I thought it might include the cafe as that also has a sign in the window.

 

[Bodger]

The old new look store is being sub divided into 6 units.

I suspect one is the cafe and 2 & 3 is the old Brighthouse divided into 2. Not sure of the fourth!

The barbers that's in the middle?

No change of use

No planning required

They're very small units

 

[Tumble weed]

They're very small units

One of the units right next to home bargains has been taken on by the gym for a bike store. I believe the original plans for the building had that box room down as a news agents.... Still guess it gets used now.

They left a plan lying about a few weeks ago , I'll see if I took a picture of it.

Here it is

From looking at it , it looks like some sort of office or maybe a vets with various consultation rooms was in mind. It also uses the back half of the 2nd unit.

Making the second unit very small indeed.

Elements already owned it. They own the whole building.

There was some mention of the rooms being for physios on the building control - which might make sense of the layout

Finally checked out the Vintage Emporium

Eh.

It’s an expensive charity shop where everything smells of smoke and there’s some rather questionable merchandise (Gollywogs…)

Also Harry Potter is not vintage.


Unrelated: International Supermarket is now under new management and called “Convy”

£1250/m for 650sqft, at that end of town? The old schoolwear place in St Marys is considerably cheaper.

I always pay using a card because I get cashback on every purchase.

Exactly this. Why carry cash when I can get paid to spend on a card? I have an account I transfer my ‘spending money’ for the month into, and I get 1% cash back on this. Also use the round up feature to take any transaction to nearest whole pound and accumulate something like 7% interest on the pennies rounded. Doesn’t sound much but over a year, it adds up.

Chase bank if you were wondering.

Also, I assume the 1% card fee probably balances relatively reasonably given there is often a charge for providing change etc to businesses. Given the decline in cash transactions that fee is probably less and less cost effective.

I'm with Chase too.



Banks also charge businesses when they deposit/withdraw cash (and have done for many, many years).

Lloyds for example is:
- The first £1500 per month - £1 per £100
- Anything over £1500 per month - £0.90 per £100

Either I haven't understood where it is, (don't think I have!) Or the number of units is wrong, ((where did th info' come from?), I just Don't see how you can fit 6 units on that space.!
