I don’t particularly like posting negative things on here cos I believe in energies and all that stuff lol or unless I’m taking the p**s jokingly.
A lot of chat around the state of the town and honestly, on the whole we don’t mind. We just show up and serve those that continue to support us. But with more shops closing down, there’s less people around - like our neighbours the Whitcoulls. So with less people around there’s probably more opportunities for people like this.
Honestly. We’re a lot quieter now - so closing down or trying in a different area are alternatives that become more appealing. Every 3 year lease I’m not automatically signing like I used to. It’s hard enough to make ends meet with pure business expenses vs business income from customers. But having to pay for unforeseen expenses like damages etc, we’ve had gas bottles stolen multiple times in the past couple years for example which costs us 1-2k each time. S**t just gets hard and makes you wonder what things could be like in a different area.
With all that said - we love it here and are grateful for the 26 years of support from the local community. It’s just a reality that some things just can’t last forever. A lot of shops move or close down and it’s a surprise for everyone - I always told you all I’d document everything - so at least you’re aware of what’s going on behind closed doors - pun intended lol. 💛
