geared Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 I didn't "expect" anything (other than what it is), but it would be a crowd puller if there was something unusual and un-complicated. take for example B&M & Toothpaste... Who in their right mind is going to go there and walk around that place just for that, then find out it it's the same price (or cheaper) at the local corner shop? Just an example, but it is true for many,many things. While I think on... Cat food too! It's HALF the price and hardly any walking around mazes to get it locally. You don't like the place because of Toothpaste and Cat food?? Is there something wrong with you?? Have you actually been to the place? Well they're moaning about the prices in B&M. There is no B&M store in Fox Valley :hihi::hihi: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vwkittie Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 I'm interested to know what people think of the Fox Valley Friday Market, especially as there will also be a Fox Valley Tuesday Market from tomorrow (11.10.16). If you haven't been yet it's down by Aldi/Home Bargains. If you have been, did you like it? Why? If not, why not? I'd like to get some feedback before applying for a stall, and all comments will be gratefully appreciated! I guess this is what they mean by "Market Research" (sorry:roll:) Unfortunately both the market days (as I think they're now doing it Tuesdays as well) are on week day day times. Anyone who like me is out at work during the week, can't ever go. So basically I couldn't comment on what they're like as us working people are totally excluded! ---------- Post added 11-10-2016 at 11:11 ---------- You don't like the place because of Toothpaste and Cat food??

Same for places like Chapeltown as well though, they have a market day during the week there. Don't know why it's not held on a Saturday morning?

Ducky1 Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 I have just walked through the market area and it is almost deserted, as for the new Boutique store, it is ok if you have got the money to spend there, same with the places to eat, expensive. my colleague ate there last week, 2 meals (1 was a salad and 2 drinks £44.00, could have gone to Greggs and bought all the office dinner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know why it's not held on a Saturday morning? On the occasion that I've been to Fox Valley on a Saturday, there hasn't been any space left in the car park. So I would suppose the reason is that they don't need to draw in extra customers at the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allwednesday Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 I went last week with a friend, its ok, but not many decent places to have a sandwich and a cup of tea, ended up in Gregs, also there are no public toilets, but overall its seems a nice place. Come on look more carefully we came across several places to have a sandwich And a tea or coffee! Fantastic public toilets best I've ever seen go up the stairs next to the Italian restaurant! like you say it's a nice place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
