at least they wont need to do too much to that unit security wise....

Capacious interior for the 'distract-and-pocket' ploy, large windows with extensive forecourt area to enable full sledgehammer swing, access to lots of side roads for a motorcycle getaway, yes - they should do well.


I wonder if they'll store the 5k rings in one of the little garages out the back?

What would you prefer?

Prefer?


I don't object to bling shops - I might think they're idiots to open there but I don't object and I probably underestimate the lust for Gold and shiny things in these parts (can't see Nina Christie's being thrilled though).


If you DO have such power though ET, and are asking with a view to waving your wand and making it so, then a good Chinese/Vietnamese-type supermarket would be nice, thankyou.

So that's three new jewellery shops opened relatively recently in ED - how much money is there floating around?! (The other two are on Upland Road - one precious jewellery which has been open for quite a while, the other a costume jewellery one next door).

Why would you think this area could not support three jewellery shops?

Four jewellery shops, and I'm not saying it can't, I was just wondering as it seems quite a concentration in a small area (particularly as three of them sell precious jewellery that's quite expensive). Hopefully it can. East Dulwich: South London's Hatton Garden ;-)

I'm not whinging! I am merely concerned (and therefore posing a question for discussion) that someone's hopes and dreams, never mind investment, might not succeed if there isn't sufficient demand. Ever heard of market saturation?


I have already said that I wish them well. The new shop is probably better placed than the other two for passing trade anyway.

Vik, you are absolutely right. Some people are never happy... It's like a little forum of negativity, cheer up people it's nearly Christmas!

    • Part of the problem the PO has is it has become all things to all people.  It has become vital for a small group of people in providing banking and other in person services. But sadly that means for many others it is off putting to use.  I need to use it a few times a year to send a parcel.  The opening  hours are such it is hard (basically impossible) for me to use it during the week, I don't want to use my Saturday morning  or lunch hour queuing up behind loads of people.  So I use the Royal Mail's online parecel service instead.
