Maybe, maybe not.... Once the guys had the Campbeltown Loch flowing, I think a couple became squealers They were sworn to secrecy etc....

The good thing is it wont be lying empty for too much longer (Hopefully)

Our old Woolies is being turned into one of those stores that sell allsorts for the home, plus clothing, might be OK.

I did say it was "our" Woolies, meaning where I live, Boston, Lincolnshire.

Looks like it's not going to be an Argos after all.

[maxmix]

I personally would not thought an Argos would come to Campbeltown, I've said for quite a while now....

Looking like another bargain shop, Nickle & Dime type IMO

Is there really a demand for that?

Just back from holiday and wading through the forum.

Read a few comments that Tesco wouldn't be interested in the woolies building just now, so heres a thought..

Tesco move to the old creamery will be a few years away, so maybe they could use the woolies building in the mean time to add their clothing, toy, electrical, DVD, cd, video games ranges and their catalogue ordering system, until they move to the new building. Lets face it, tesco can supply everything the old woolies did and why let a competitor get a foot hold if they plan to open a bigger store in a few years.. remember TESCO want to rule the world

Visited Ireland, Scotland and London over the past 3 weeks.. visited one retailer more than any other.. Tesco.. why, value for money and choice.. i wish they would open here in Pori.

Anyone know why Argos have suddenly appeared down here giving out catalgues outside Woolworths today?

[maxmix]

I asked the girl handing them out at 10am this morning, just a promo for the new catalogue...

She said to me Definately no Argos coming here she told me... But I found it very strange into the bargian...

Still there they were at 4 pm before I came home...

maxmix

PS I'm begining to wonder now, keep it a big secret to the last minute, then bang.... They are here...

Who knows.... Time will tell....

I am pretty sure I have seen Argos handing out catalogues in the town a few years ago, so wouldn't read too much into it.
