Evil Sid Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 They may have gone into liquidation. don't know if the one near the hatter is still open will have a look if I pass that way in the morning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 No idea but there's a BB not far from us in Cawdor Street and I'm sure someone told me a few weeks ago that that one has been sold. Given the fact that BB are dearer than the local supermarkets I can't see how they have stayed open so long anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inky pete Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 The holding company is up for sale. http://www.business-sale.com/news/article/bargain-booze-offlicence-chain-put-on-the-market-34336.html But it also says that most of the outlets are franchises - so individual stores may go bust, but the overall company looks like it makes profit.

Peter T Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 The St. Heath, Westy, and Chester Rd, were franchised by the same bloke, and I think he could have had Mersey St as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazj Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 So if they were dearer than the supermarkets; they weren't "Bargain Booze" and as such were trading under false pretences! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 Wasn't there talk a while ago about them (r someone similar) opening a new big one in Stockton Heath where Ethel Austin's was ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
