anywebsite Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Popped in for a coffee this afternoon and noticed Juicy Patties had gone. They've moved to a new shop (not sure if it's open yet), so hopefully another market success story. They'll be in the old Pollards shop on Pinstone Street. I noticed quite a few other stalls have gone too though. The tea stall has gone, TM Meats was closed again on Saturday. A fish monger has gone too.

marketman Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Heard that a chip shop is on its way into the market soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doom Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 I notice Crawshaws are now opening a shop opposite the new market. I wonder if they've decided that the competition inside was too much or whether they'll just get more footfall on The Moor itself rather than hidden away. Whenever I've been in the market there's nobody at the Crawshaws stall. I don't particularly like looking over a counter, so I've never bought anything there, but I could see myself using the new Crawshaws shop. I believe Simmonites used to be in the Castle Market, but instead of relocating to the new market they decided to open a shop just up from Cole Brothers. I walk past most lunchtimes and they seem to be much busier than most of the meat and fish stalls in the new markets. The only area of the new markets that regularly seems to be busy is the food seating area, that's normally fairly full whenever I've walked past. I should be tempted by Beer Central, being a real ale lover, but their prices are too high for me, although I may yet buy the odd bottle for a special occasion.

It won't be missed. There is more Architectural design and detail [especially the interior ] in the Castle Market than there is in a thousand bland and uninteresting Nissan type buildings as the new Moorfoot Mall. The Castle Market is also in the historical trading area of Sheffield and only a City who have a load of nut cases doing Town Planning would change that.

Regards Doom I think you have hit the flaw in their business plan. Folks go to supermarkets and come out with dozens of bottles and cans. They do this because it is cheap and convenient. Beer Central will only sell small quantities to folk prepared to walk around with them in a carry bag. If they shift 100 bottles per day I would be surprised. With the staggering rents for stalls and storage that could amount to a £1 mark up per bottle just to pay the council. So you are always going to have high prices. I wonder if when the rent free period is over they will join the band of market leavers who shift their business to a convenient unit somewhere where their customers can park outside.

No User Name Posted March 25, 2014 Author Share Posted March 25, 2014 I notice they found asbestos in the old market. Tut tut, and certain people on here wanted them to stay there, just think of the health impacts it could have had... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEDROCK Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 The food area should have been partitioned instead of random chairs and tables everywhere. It would have looked far better with each food unit having coloured eating zones to sit at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WallBuilder Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 I know I've suggested earlier that a suggestion box should be installed with people having the oppertunity to fill in a card before it is vetted and put in to the box. I've not bothered to actually go to the trouble of sending an email off to the market manager suggesting this but may be doing this in the near future and may also raise a few of the concerns mentioned on this thread. I do wonder though if anyone else is likely to do the same as that may well cause a rethink of market policy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narden Dee Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 I notice they found asbestos in the old market. Tut tut, and certain people on here wanted them to stay there, just think of the health impacts it could have had... no impact at all if properly managed. Which it is.
