There's still the old restaurant to be refilled. Hopefully someone will take on the old Frankie and Benny's too.

And I think I seen a poster up somewhere, suggesting Odeon were taking one of the town centre facing units for advertising purposes at least as a temporary measure.

Where does anyone buy a new freezer these days is it just curry's or Argos . cant think where else to look

Currys down near Ikea probably has a bigger range than Stafford.

Wow...

 

[Staffordy McStaffordface]

Wow, indeed. So, you need to not only clear £2,875 a week, but on top of that also pay rates, gas, electricity, water, broadband, insurance, stock, staff, bank charges. Anyone for another barbers.

That must be a typo right? Surely it’s up at £13,800?

Anyone renting that would be barmy

Rateable value £11,750
Rates payable £7,235.50pa (24/25)
Note: If you qualify for Small Business Rates Relief you should
be entitled to a 100% rate redemption.

Yeah it must be, rateable value is indicative of market rent

“Anyone renting that would be barmy”

Or possibly a laundrette??

Wild to think the plot was never really fully utilised.

How was it never really fully utilised?

How was it never really fully utilised?

The main unit was rented out by Elements but there’s a bunch of units along the inside down the alley that never really took off
