howsmicha Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Wassamadda1 says"same crappy stalls same crappy punters". One can only assume from comments of that negative nature that you are a snob of the highest order or are making an exremely poor attempt at a wind up.I was down there today with my wife for a look round and didnt come accross too many "crappy punters".One can only think that your shopping outings take in Harrods, Selfridges, Harvey Nicks and the Burlington arcade.

999tigger Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 (edited) I think we are thinking of the same one in particular (the double unit) I'll take bets on if they are still there in 6 months time With you all the way on the other choices. It took me some time to realise what they were selling. Perhaps they have more stock coming? Dunno if everyone gets a free rent period if so perhaps they are there just to enjoy that. Its not as though the shop was overwhelmed with merchandise. As for Castle area, then Wilko the Co Op, Jack Fultons amd B&M are the hardcore down there and will survive. Wilko has the Post Office. Sponer they knock the old market down the better, get some light and some street lighting in there. Edited November 25, 2013 by 999tigger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe-b-1 Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Just been down to see the market, we currently have a large ladies and gents salon in crystal peaks market which is of a very gud standard . It suprises me that alot of units were vacant seen as we applied and got a reply to say we didnt meet the standards and the place was 100% capacity . Some stalls do look great and u can tell they have realli made an impression to look gud and there the ones that are probably init for the long term after the 6 months free rent is up ! There are some stalls that just look like they have thrown it together! Just didnt have the same feel as crystal peaks market for me i dont kno whether i am quick to judge but i suppose weve been in crystal peaks since 2003 so we know it like back of our hand and all the traders av been there years like us !! Nice new market but think it was for the best we didnt go in as they say everythings appens for a reason ! There were notices on some of the vacant units stating who was moving into them and when over the next few weeks. If you are the same salon in the peaks as I think you are though I am surprised that they didn't let you have a stall although I suppose it may be 100% capacity with some of the stallholders yet to move in. ---------- Post added 25-11-2013 at 17:19 ---------- I'll be going some time this week, I am disappointed to hear there are apparently no good cheese stalls/artisan bakers etc. but maybe that will come over time. I think there is a market for it (pun intended). I hope it goes well, I know someone who has invested in one of the food stalls and he deserves the best. Go and have a look for yourself I think it's good. Some of the usual negative about everything people have been posting already and I doubt that some of them have even been.

byeo Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Who made you the grammar police? At least the poster contributed something interesting and on the subject. I'm like a PCSO, it's voluntary. But I hope to become a fully fledged Grammar Officer once I complete the grueling test, (learn my ABC). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some peoples grammar isn't good, but that can be for a number of reasons. At least they contributed. Edited November 25, 2013 by 999tigger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bypassblade Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Been in today with my other half.. we are genuinely delighted with the place and would return. It's very spacious, lots to choose from, Yee Kwan was in there today and I have to say 'delish' ice cream, and we also enjoyed the Polish Bakery no end. There is an information kiosk/security desk in the middle of the place which I'm sure, will sort out any bother if it happens. The floors were a bit dirty though already which was a bit of a shame but it's nice and light and modern which we've needed for a while. I'd like to see a lot of cleaners doing the job throughout the day + a lot more bins, places to put food trays which is greatly needed. Great start and good to see the Moor area buzzing already as well thanks to the new Poundland, TJ Hughes, Subway and Iceland (opening tomorrow we hear) Something I'd like to comment on if I may - and that's how run down and dismal the area the Castle Market has found itself in. We went today, for the first time in years to see what was left outside.. and I have to say, the 'We are NOT moving down to the Moor' signs in the shop windows AND on the stalls outside are not only childish but off putting at best. I'll be rather happy when the mob outside, looking rather lazy if I may say, are moved on and replaced with something 'nicer' for the area. It genuinely looks dark and depressing and not somewhere I'd like to shop in (the Castle Market area) and the sooner it's cleaned up, the better for me. Can I ask please, why is it childish? they are expressing an opinion & doing so via their windows. Lots of the market people haven't gone to the Moor, I'd love to know how someone looks lazy BTW, is there a special way they stand. My understanding of lazy is they never get off their arses, so they have so not lazy by definition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rossyrooney Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Been today and was pleasantly surprised, we spoke to a couple of stallholders that we know and they are very happy with the rent break to help them with set up costs. It was nice to see a decent mix of choices in the food court and all the staff were in their shiny new uniforms, a much better welcome than the old mixed up chairs and tables and multi coloured pots in the old place. As for empty units,we saw several that were already signwritten awaiting their new tenants moving in, we only saw a handful that were not tenanted or signed. All in all it's far better than the old run down place, and with the new ethnic food stalls that have opened I can see it turning out to be just the ticket. One last thing ... look out for the Chinese guy in the middle selling fancies, we've just had one with a cuppa and it was scrummy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
