Hello
Hi

I registered a while ago but didn't get around to getting involved but I've been reading the threads here for the last few weeks and thought I'd say Hi.

A bit about me - I opened my first shop in August last year so we're coming up to 6 months in a few weeks time.
We're in a residential area in a parade of shops but have plenty of parking outside which is a bonus. We don't have masses of passing trade, but the rent is cheap, we're about 3 miles from the centre of town & the rents there are extortionate and the local shops are really struggling. And I have secured a contract with a local funeral director, and a hotel, so we're doing ok. A long way to go though...

So Hi to everyone, I hope I'll be contributing regularly from now on.

Hi Gemma and welcome back.

Glad you and your shop are doing ok. It is a toss up whether to go town centre and the rent and rates associated or out of town for less outlay.
I am pleased it is working out for you.

Look forward to chatting more, have a great VD
