“The nike store will be ok.
As long as you dont hav average size feet then its ok.
But its about time the quays was starting to fill up just need some more eating places and more life down there”

“Oh dear. Han has been made to look rather stupid.”

“Han, chelt - ProCook as far as am aware have multiple stores around the country and have been open for years, no reason that the Quays will be any different.  As Ai mentions earlier, they closed their High Street stores only and operate in outlet style only now.  Is that why Blacks and Freespirit have boarded up shop fronts in Cheltenham now, whilst Gloucester's store continues to trade successfully?

Other known operators to opening before Christmas include Nando's, Perfume Designer, Pizza Express and All Things Chocolate (Café & store)!  I have heard some big, big household names/operators coming in 2010 but cannot mention here!

It's all good news as far as am concerned.”

“If the Nike shop is anything like Swindon Village = there is nothing worth buying!!! . . . . It's pure rubbish! . .”

“tee hee :-)”

“Are bless do you not understand sarcasm Al? as stated I, not you, do work for the company that aided pro cook in closing the stores, where did I say it was attributed to Cheltenham alone? The majority of pro cook stores where based in shopping centres anyway, which initially gave them subsidised rent. When these deals came to an end pro cook couldn¿t not afford to operate, so came to the decision to re-open stores in new out let centres that give subsidised rents, as the quays does. Its not that hard to understand is it?! So when this rent reduction term comes to an end at the quays I have a sneaking suspicion pro-cook will be doing the same again. Anyway toodle pip Al enjoy your time in La La land, where no one can know something that you dont.”

“So Han, the decision to close all 18 Procook stores in High Streets across the UK was made because its subsidised rent rate ended in Cheltenham? Sorry, but you clearly don't know what you are talking about...... And I don't work for any company involved in it, another fact you've got wrong there..........”

“Ooooh 6 months and no closures wow that¿s certainly put me in my place, I take it you work for the company that aided pro-cook in closing all its high street retail outlets then? because that¿s where I work and I can guarantee I do know my facts else I wouldn¿t have stated so, now hop off your soap box.”

“Han, ProCook left Cheltenham when the company decided to close all its High Street stores and to concentrate on shops in outlet centres only. As the Quays has been open for over six months, with an ever increasing number of shops and not a single closure, maybe you should try getting your facts right instead of spouting off about subjects you clearly know nothing about.”

“ProCook .i.e The Professional Cookware company is already OPEN, it opened last Thursday!”
