Guest treader. Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 Nope.Going to be a hotel.You just reminded me about that new place that's opened behind it though. Think it's called something wanky like The City, anyone been in?Yeah. It ain't half bad actually. I was expecting crappy service and crappy food but I was wrong on both accounts.I thought when they were building it, it was gonna be an awesome upper class nightclub, but I was wrong on that too.Damn, I'm wrong a lot.

pogofish Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 Seeing elsewhere that DSGi - PC World, Currys, Dixons etc have just had their credit insurance pulled, so it probably won't be very long before their suppliers probably won't want to supply any more.

pogofish Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 Only three shops signed-up for Union Square:But the only ones signed up for the Aberdeen centre so far are fashion retailers New Look, Next and Arcadia, which owns Burton, Miss Selfridge and Topshop.http://www.eveningexpress.co.uk/Article.aspx/1033301Although I did hear something about a Nandos as well maybe.

Bigsby Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 Only three?!Are we predicting another New Market then?Yes.In fact I hear that New Market Tapes is relocating to the new centre as well, good news for fans of Daniel O'Donnell and Dominic Kirwan.

Chris Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 That surely won't be many more, nor the most prime units?Think from reading the papers yesterday they've signed up 12 chains for the food outlets, including Nandos and a couple of ones that are already down the beach.

pogofish Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 So in essence it looks like a number of established names may well be moving around or expanding slightly, rather than anything much new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captain burrito Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 I was hoping for some new stores to open in Union Square, instead of larger versions of the stores we already have.Given the current financial climate, it is unfortunate that perhaps more interesting names could have been signed up, but surely there must be some out there doing well enough to open an Aberdeen branch?

pogofish Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 Saw last night that Enigma has a sign saying that they cannot accept card payments any more - "for the forseeable future," so that sounds more than a maintenance/fault issue.Withdrawl of merchant services perhaps?

Chris Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 When I walked through town on Wednesday I spotted Frankensteins had closed and the 24 hour shop on Rose Street was shut! Times must be bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
