alko27 Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Regen of Castlegate is a fabulous concept and idea. Something like this would be ideal with funding from the European Union, like so much of the City Centre development (Train station etc) has relied on over the last few decades. Oh wait...

It'll be fine. After all, we have an extra £350m a week to spend. Oh wait... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dutch Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 I have spoken with someone who works in the castle area today. Who told me that to her knowledge wilkinsons has no intention of leaving because they pay very little rent there compared to what a place in the moor would cost. Looking at their locations round sheffield I never had the feeling wilko cared much about flocking together with other retailers in big retail parks and are perfectly happy to have their own place.

SkylinePhoto Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Wilkos are always in locations with really bad or no parking. Which is a little silly as they sell alot of products that cant be carried very easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I understand, they will be there until the council issue a compulsory purchase order on the building and knock it down, same goes for B&M. Wilkos and B&M are usually found on the edge of city centres rather than right in the centre so Castlegate suits them fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S1 1DJ Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Was on the Moor at the weekend and BHS was getting boarded up. Any idea if work going on behind the scenes or prepping for new retail outlet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
