Woolworths??

Probably taking advantage of the gossip about them moving there to improve their sales, and it will be more cost effective to just hand out the catalogues and load up the delivery van for the kintyre run every week

Good news for Campbeltown shoppers. The Original Factory Shop is opening in December 2009. The information about opening is on the website http://www.theoriginalfactoryshop.co.uk/locator.aspx.

That is good news indeed. It will make a hell of a difference to the town centre to have this building open again. Heard various rumours last week but good to see confirmation. I suppose it will have an affect on other shops but I guess it is all about competition too.

Now we need the Royal open, does anyone know if it will?

Well thats good news at last, I'm getting around the UK quite a bit ATM, with work and I must say there are still a few Woolworths buildings lying empty, Lets hope they create half a dozen jobs anyway...

I wonder if they will just use the ground floor, I have been on the 1st and 2nd floors quite a few times and plenty of room up there etc... (Well at least they will have plenty room for storage and office space)

Good luck with it, he town needs it....

I see where you are going Nomad, these Outlet shops do carry a good range of stock and are pretty good with their prices...

Just means competing traders will have to do the same

I think it depends on how you read the other comments on the Tesco thread. I read these more as a concern about the new Tescos opening rather than saying it is not good news. Good to read the varying views on it all actually as it helps shape my view on things. The http://www.theoriginalfactoryshop.co.uk/locator.aspx. which will open will obviously affect other shops in the town but it fills a huge whole in our town centre which is why people will say it is good news. (I suspect )

I see there will be one of these shops in Stewarton too - is that not a bit much for the area?

Unless you are one of the people who would like to see the building demolished and have a car park instead.

Not for a car park - there's too much of that in the town already!
