InterSport in Main Street to close down

[Kintyre Forum News]

With every piece of good news (the opening of the old Victoria Wine shop - see viewtopic.php?f=12&t=10819 ) there appears to be a bit of sad news follows it shortly after.

Staff at InterSport shop in the Main Street of Campbeltown were told today their shop will be closing down. The shop in Campbeltown is one of 10 family owned shops in the west coast of Scotland who trade under the InterSport brand. (please note Intersport is NOT closing down, this small family owned section are).

Sad news for the current staff and Campbeltown on the whole.

So sorry, great shop and very helpful staff. It will be missed.

yes, it really is very bad news for all the staff and the town.
A real kick in the teeth for everyone.

Is it a possibility for the shop keep running within the Intersport group?

sorry to hear this, Linda, Tracey et al

Thanks very much for all your lovely comments regarding the shop. To be truthfull im devestated with the news, cause i loved working in the shop. It was a pleasure serving the people of Campbeltown and i couldnt have done it without Tracy, Meggie and Janna, they were more like sisters than work colleagues.

Hopefully someone will see that there is a need for a sports shop in the town and will open up again. I do know my bosses are in talks with other Intersport members to take us over but that is all i know just now.

I would like to thank you all for the help and support that you have given the shop over the years, words can't express how i feel xx

Good to hear the former InterSport shop in the Main Street is opening this Saturday at 10am (4th December 2010)

The shop will now be known as Wee Toon Sports. Best wishes to locals Archie and Tracy Millar who have opened the new business. Good to see Linda back working there too.

Great news, just in time for Christmas. Best wishes to Tracey and Archie.

[Mousireid]

All the best to Achie and Tracy!

So happy to see this shop open again. I am sure you will have full support of the Wee Toon behind you.
