B & M trade is dying

[Fogster]

There is a B&B on the same Street as the office I work in and I spend the best part of my lunch break there around 3 times a week.

Still buy my coils from them and while I use cheaper juice mon-fri that I buy online i use premium juice over the weekend and buy that from them as well. The guys are really knowledgeable and always willing to help with any issues I'm having.

A little local town (Arnold in Nottingham in case anyone knows it) has quite a good high street with 2 higher end vape shops that have recently opened.

Whenever I'm in Arnold, I'll nip in, grab a coffee and chat with the staff for a while, usually end up walking out with alittle liquid or an RDA (Though last time was a stab wood Asmodus).

The main reason I like going to Arnold along with many others? Lots of convenient parking just off the high street and it's completely free. Most cities and larger towns have limited parking that costs a small fortune, why would anyone go through that hassle and expense when online is easier? Take away that hassle/expense, going to High Streets is a far more tempting option.

Did wonder which B&M it was but was thinking Sherwood.
Not been in that one yet top of the hill.

It's worth nipping in, manager is Alison, she is lovely, free coffee and more than happy chatting away. Good selection of liquids with loads of testers.

They are opening an 888 Vape next door though! She isn't impressed.

Is it Vapour Boutique in Sherwood? Drove past it dozens of times as walk dogs at Woodthorpe Park sometimes, never been in though. Any good?

Same here never been in.
Often drive past on way into or out of centre.
Next time I pass I'll pop in check it out.

So that'll be three in Arnold?
Fucking Bulwell shot we get the obligatory Eco and a DIY juice cafe style shop just before Highbury which has nothing really except they'll make you juice to order which I suppose would be good for some.

I never even knew that was a thing!! I nip into Steam Vape occasionally to pick up my supply of Manabush Rhubarb Tart. It's about 10 minutes away in Mapperley.

I'll be at the next one, be a pleasure meeting fellow apes.

I buy most of my stuff online, I still drop in my local B & M, I always buy something, because as the OP said, we might need them in an emergency one day. Like to try and support local where possible.
Mind as I was leaving 2 couples landed with a double buggy each and started getting their sandwiches and drinks out. I was a bit uncomfortable with the Crèche vibe, so politely made my goodbyes and left the building.

 

[Mr Ripple]

Ah Mapperly.
Don't venture that side very much.
Should though as suspect there may be some gem b&m's hiding out that way.
Woodborough, Carlton, netherfield, etc never thought.
