on the door today ..'Application for a Sandwich Bar' Blondie is back with us ! ..though you were away spending your winnings on the Grand National ..my horse never even started !
Yes exactly !
Ashburton in a small community ..you may be seen as an outsider .. one good thing about Dawlish is you can mix with visitors ..Ashburton has none ! I know what it's like to be an outsider .. I once lived in Cornwall ugggggggggg... all they say is 'when you going back !!'
If you are going to re start and you empty the shop of stock three months relief maybe allowed..but best to check with the area Council it differs.
Just walked bye ..it's a nice size shop. Dawlish Estates have it 'To Let'.
Perhaps the lease has ended...or could be a lack of trade. It was a nice choice but risky ...At the end of the day ...visitors are not going to buy tropical fish or a fish tank, trade would be local sales. I am not getting at anyone in Dawlish ..it's a known fact that you never get high volumn trade from locals (unless you're a pub!) wherever you place a shop ..for example Newton Abbot people seem ...
