It's hit Northwich in Cheshire...three years ago there was one independent
shop plus Woolies and the ELC. Now the Indepebdant shop has closed and the
other two have cleared their shelves of Lego.

For anyone in the right circumstances there might be a good opportunity for an
outlet (Free parking in town centre)

(...) Except surely the reason these places are not stocking lego is cause no ones buying it. Why would another outlet succeed where these have failed? regards lawrence (27 years ago, 13-Feb-00, to lugnet.loc.uk)
