G Thomas Pen Specialist

[jaffa1 10]

Does anyone know where the pen specialist on Surrey Street

has moved to. I called today and the shop is all closed up, I'm  hoping it has

moved to another address and not just closed for good.

The Star says it’s closed for good.

Thanks pattricia, what a shame. I don't  know of any similar  shops in Sheffield.

It's a sad loss but they moved online. Google is your friend. 👍

There used to be a decent pen shop in Debenhams at Meadowhall. I’ve no idea if it is still there,  or if it will meet your needs, but it might be worth a phone call.

Likewise John Lewis in the city centre.

Ridiculous business rates, more like.

When I spoke to the lady who owned the shop just a couple of days before the shop closed, she did tell me they would still be trading online but I haven’t looked to see if they are. The closure wasn’t anything to do with rates, it was because the lady was in her early eighties and sales had dropped off and I’m sure she said no one had come forward to buy it but I can’t remember a For Sale sign up.

Obviously Google is a complete mystery to SF users these days!

What a sarcastic answer. Some people still do like to shop and also view and handle their purchase before they buy, another thing they did at this shop was engraving the pens for you. There's  more to life than sat at home on the internet.
