RichK Â Â 10 #1 Posted July 16, 2006 The Oxfam thread has reminded me of this great shop in Crookes. Â Does anyone know what happened to the place and why it closed (when did it close by the way - I think I was last in there about 1995)? Â I remember the guy who ran it explaining to a customer why they had to open only a few days a week "if I make any more money, I'll have to pay VAT and I never wanted to be Richard Branson". Â A great shop, spent hours on several Saturdays there. Â Strange that the shop has never had another tennant since (has it??)

athy   10 #2 Posted July 21, 2020 Oddly enough, during a clear-out, I have just found their business card, from a visit there about 1995. An internet search shows that the building was sold in 2001, so I'd guess that the shop closed shortly before that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
RichK Â Â 10 #3 Posted July 21, 2020 Wow fantastic thread alchemy @athy! Â He had business cards made - he was better at business than he claimed then! Â I think it has become a private house now - when I posted the thread the it was still a shop, but boarded up and was a bit mysterious.
