copycat shops

So customers can't have an opinion lol, as I have said I am not the owner but used to have my own in Dawlish so I know how hard it is to make a living.

yeah but come on co-op and costcutters make a fortune and they have hundreds of shops. the little shops rely on being original and cannot afford to get ripped off. yeah okay shops copy one or two things but not every single thing like she does.

Trying to fill the void, no, they don't sell anything different to everybody else, so how are they filling any void. And I know for a fact they are copying other shops because most nights you can see the woman that works in there looking through the windows of several shops on her way home to see what they are selling. What a joke, I'm surprised the shop owners havnt had a go at her for it.

I used to own a shop many years ago and back then the shops used to help each other out but lately it just seems that most people are only out for themselves and that's a shame.

No I am not the owner, just a loyal customer who feels that something had to said about about people copying each other? U wouldn't be the owner of bits and bobs would you?

Thankyou for your reply, I didn't think it would be big enough for them but you never know, I admit we do need something new to go into woolies as soon as possible but I don't want it to be at the cost of other businesses in town. We already have enough empty shops.

i have just heard a rumour that woolies is gonna be a wilkinsons store. is this true? if so how many shops will be put out of business, they sell pet products, kitchen things, garden things, electricals and much more, so thats at least 5 shops that are gonna be affected by this.
