Sorry not Amy, but a branch of the off-licence chain "Winehouse".Report states it will be open within next six weeks.
So anyone know where about in the town it is to be ?Plenty of empty premises to choose from.

At a guess I'd say the old Victoria Wine shop.

Thanks Bill, for posting this. Beat us to it. 8) As you say Campbeltown is to get a Winehouse rather than a Cellar No.1. Must say something about our up market drinking habits! 8) The new store will be located in the premises vacated by Victoria Wine.

Stores under the Winehouse brand have already opened in Kilmacolm, Helensburgh, Oban, Dunoon, Dunblane and Edinburgh. Over the next six weeks other stores will open in Campbeltown, Kelso, Lochgilphead, Currie and Edinburgh.

A Cellar No. 1 store will start operating soon in Torry, Aberdeenshire, after branches opened in Rothesay, Greenock, Glasgow and Invergordon.


Plenty of empty premises to choose from.
You need to visit the town more often Bill - there is now only one shop vacant in the Main Street with several other vacant shops opening in Longrow over the last few weeks. :wink:

The Brandinvest Group have taken shop leases previously trading under Threshers, Haddows & Vicky Wine.

It appears that the Winehouse chain are a good deal more upmarket than Vicky Wine, offering interesting wines from smaller vineyards, good news for wine lovers in the toon. :D

Was told it was going to reopen under the Cellar No 1 brand and should have the lottery back in.
Wine range will be different and not just mirror what the supermarkets stock.

The way the timing is going it could re-open exactly 1 year after First Quench went into administration.
KPMG the administrators for First Quench have just paid a final dividend of 100 pence in the pound.
Meaning everyone who was owed money should get paid, even the owners.

Never did find out why a company with very little debt and about to enter it's peak trading period pulled
the plug on itself.

Is that right bitter or a right belter? :-)

Good news with regards the shop opening. 8)
