With our rugby neighbours having A shop on holderness road and i am lead to believe plans to open one within the princess quay?

I wondered if anyone thinks that maybe ours should expand or even re-locate?

any thoughts???

personel thoughts! think the central town location, should be of paramount importance but should be bigger premises.

I think the town centre shop is ok where it is but could do with being a little bit bigger.

What's wrong with the shop on Paragon Street?

It gives us a city centre presence and the rent will be cheaper than Princes Quay.

But wouldnt you think Princess Quay is a more lucrative location then Paragon Street?

No - I think you either go there to buy something specific or you don't go there at all. Wherever it was located I don't think many people passing by would just pop in to look round and then buy something on a whim.

The Paragon Street shop is only 2 mins walk from Prinny Quay anyway.

Didn't we have a shop in there once, I would have thought that it would be too expensive to rent. To be fair our merchandising side of things doesn't seem to be doing badly. I'd be very surprised if Rovers think that running a shop in there and one on Holderness Rd was financially viable.

We had a shop on the top deck .To be honest though it didnt carry much stock and was smaller than the one we have now.

I had actually forgot about the "little" one we had up there!

was that prior to the one on paragon street, or as well as?

I remember buying FC stuff off Albert Walker when he had a shop in Caroline St.

Didn't you also have one years ago (talking mid-late 90's) near the Primark entrance (but up the escalator)? IIRC it was 50/50 City/Hull merchandise.

Tbh I'd be very surprised if we did open one up in there, think we tried it very briefly years ago but settled with Hold Rd, which makes sense IMO.

From an outsider I think the Paragon St shop is perfectly placed e.g. easily accessible by foot, + car parking outside and down Queens Gardens.

They had a free standing unit on the bottom floor of Princes Quay,when it first opened.

Was more like 75% -25% in favour of city
