The recent double dip recession won't have come as a surprise to the residents of Colwyn Bay. Over the last month or so the shutters seem to come down on a number of shops in the town centre. It's therefore pleasing to see at least one new shop buck the trend by opening, even if it is one I'll almost certainly never make a purchase from.
Having taken the opportunity to browse the menswear section it's clear there's nothing here for anyone like me. It's mainly cheap designer brands like Crosshatch and t-shirts displaying tacky slogans like You Looked Better From Behind or pictures of half naked young ladies. Now, nice as these pictures might be, they're not the sort of thing I really want emblazoned across my chest. If I was eighteen years old and planning an evening out in the Prince Madoc then maybe they're but not exactly appropriate if you're, er my age, and planning an evening pushing a trolley around Tesco.
I think there's more chance of me winning the lottery (and I never buy tickets) than there is of me buying anything from this shop but I nonetheless wish them well and hope this unit stays occupied for some time to come. If you're an eighteen year and a regular at the Prince Madoc then this shop is in the BayView Centre so go and check it out. read more
