I think it would be a good idea to have a couple of pubs on the moor. Improve the night time economy in the area.

Mkapaka Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 A) suppose a potential retailer would have to look for an existing vacant unit or wait for one to come available. B) so what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(A) There aren't any vacant ATM - so far as I am aware. (B) So why dilute their potential footfall, in an industry which is already struggling?

I don’t see how discouraging new bars/pubs opening is going to help a struggling bar and pub industry. they would open if someone thought they could make it work - maybe other establishments would have to up their game - or maybe if the new place was better it would replace the struggling old one - who knows.

Who said anything about discouraging them? And - are you aware of any applications to open new establishments? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can take time for growth and expansion managers to cotton on to a gap in the market/expansion opportunity. For example, the city centre (excluding the rail station) has just gotten its first Burger King in over 20 years. It can take time to wait for an appropriate unit to become available on The Moor. For example, when Fulton's closed, that unit would have been too small for a pub. The former TJ Hughes would have been perfect but the sportswear shop got in there first.

Or maybe the pub chains have realised there isn't the gap there. Burger King is not a pub - totally different market, as you should realise, having a Business Diploma. Obviously, the Fultons unit was not big enough for a pub, and if other concerns wanted to open in the Hughes store, presumably they would have looked at it, as JDS obviously did.

You fail to grasp the point of my comparison. All businesses can take a while to expand and realise opportunities. The Sheaf Island for example, sat as a derelict brewery for many years.
