The Wee Toon is fair becoming a Mecca for new business.

Latest rumour is that the old Fish Factory at Snipefield is being bought by some Ileachs and opened up as a small version of B&Q.

A bit of competition for the neighbours will be a great thing.

I now know what this means - I thought the fish factory was being taken over and opened up again! Doh!

Heard a firm from Islay - can't quite remember their names - is taking the building over right enough - in competition to the likes of Jewsons.

This rumour has strong legs.

Islay Timber are taking it over as a builders merchants.

It will be nice to see the old building up and running again,

Worked in the fish factory for couple years b4 it shut down, lovely smelly place, just loved the pink wellies

Somebody better open up the windows, might be a bit whiffy in there

Looking from the outside the building doesn't look in the best condition, as long as it is structurally sound.
The old Jaeger building looked sound from the outside, but wasn't in the best condition, demolition was the best option there.

Snipefield Industrial Estate might next extending soon with all the activity up there.
