Creasey's Expand into the Old Woolies

by GD on Mon 12 Oct 2009, 1:12 pm

I just heard that Creaseys are to take over the old Woolworth Building

Looks like the food hall will move into the site and eventually the M & S clothing sections will also move

Well, going to have to rename the high steet to Creasey Avenue..lol

was told the same thing back in the summer.so seems like it is true.seems they are trying to take over all of st peter port.

yes same with me thistle but I am not over the moon at all at this move as I believe it would have been much better to have something new come to Guernsey and take over the building. I know I am not the only one who shares this thought. We don't need any more m and s food halls - we have enough.

looks like clothes are moving down from smith street and we are getting a new m&s homewares up in smith street.so damned annoying just another creaseys.

creaseys is local but m&s is still a uk company

by The Gimp on Wed 21 Oct 2009, 9:19 pm

of course M&S is a uk company, but ours is run by a local company.

by Thistle on Wed 21 Oct 2009, 9:56 pm

true but did we really need another creasey franchise imo no we def did not

What we want and what we get are two different things Thistle.I've no doubt you'd like Primark/BHS/Tesco/Aldi ad nauseum.But we don't have a population large enough to support these low margin,high volume companies.Just thank heaven you live in Guernsey and be content.
