New Shops Opening on the Fringe of Town.

Good to see a number of new shops opening up in the town , although they are on the fringe of town rather than in the centre. Euro Car Parts have their signage up on the old MFI shop off Mount Street, the shop next to Majestic Wine is an electronics shop ,a newly completed shop selling beds has opened Chester Street and a Gym is in the old PC World shop on the Central Retail Park. Most of these shops have a common denominator , free car parking. TKMaxx is also relocating to Plas Coch again giving them free parking. If the Council are serious about regenerating trade in the centre of town they need come up with some novel ideas regarding parking , balancing their need for income against creating extra trade. How much income do they make on Sundays ? How much do they make after 5pm? Could they not price their car parks to encourage people to stay more than 2 hours. Iceland on Island Green reimburse shoppers who spend £15 in their shop the parking fee, this is made easy as the parking tickets on Island Green come in two parts.
“Parking tickets on Island Green come in two parts”
Since when? I’ve got a car full that says differently!I wouldn’t worry about getting a ticket on island green, I’m sure many have noticed that the guy that’s supposed to check cars spends the whole time on his phone or talking to people he knows. This is fine by me, please keep it up Mr car park guy! :)

The store next to Majestic sell kitchens (bkoncepts) and the PC World store is still empty, PureGym have moved into the old Dreams store.[quote quote=97920]Good to see a number of new shops opening up in the town , although they are on the fringe of town rather than in the centre.

It was Unipart who used to be across the road. They went bust last year.

Taffy is correct, Euro moved in that unit for a while until they moved across the road.Forgodsake children, does it matter who was once here or there, the town is still crap!
Yesterday, I took a trip to a nice small market town which still retains a good sense of its position in the retail sector – Whitchurch. Lots of nice interesting shops and a pleasant atmosphere in the shopping areas. Attentive and polite staff too, it reminded me of somewhere I used to know about 30 years ago before it was gutted and shafted by greedy developers – oh yes, I think it was called WREXHAM!

Obviously matters enough for you to post.[quote]Yesterday, I took a trip to a nice small market town which still retains a good sense of its position in the retail sector – Whitchurch.

As cmaj76 said if you prefer Whitchurch so much move over the border to it, then you can post your condescending posts on Whitchurch.com instead. All this “Wrexham was better years ago” is crap as well, the problems Wrexham have are the same for most towns our size.
