so it's £1.3M in 'fixed costs' notwithstanding electricity and other things for the first year of trading? Where do I sign up?
I saw the costs for a unit in the Trafford Centre a while ago and they were similarly breath-taking. OK, some of the shops are busy bit you look at others and they can't possibly be making money.PurpleMoonlight said:
No wonder they can't compete with the internet.
I have a client in Meadowhall, but a food/beverage outlet. He does very well.
Imagine what that money gets you on an industrial estate.I have a client in Meadowhall, but a food/beverage outlet. He does very well.
Seems like everyone involved in retail from shops to landowners are too greedy for their own good.

I guess if it didn't work people wouldn't take the units.There's row going on about a small development that cost £80M in a town near us and only three of the units are taken.

Even if the shop is doing well enough to be making £8k per week just now then, come August, it is only breaking even!
The increase is the bit that made me blink a bit
It's not a rent increase. It's a discounted rate.The increase is the bit that made me blink a bit
The standard rent is £795,000 pa but it is discounted by 50% (down to £397,500) for 5 months until August 2018.

And the Government, look at the bloody rates bill on that thing. Seems like everyone involved in retail from shops to landowners are too greedy for their own good.

True, essentially they had a big trough that they will feed out if and expect consumers to fill. We are beating them through the use of technology thank god.
77% profit plunge at JL was excellent news imo.
