I see Nevill Newsagents in its new form has closed again. It's clearly never going to work having two identical shops next to each other.
Does anyone know what they are planning to do?

Well it used to work before with previous owners
Good example of how to ruin a perfectly sound business

I live in the flat above (what was) the shop! Spoke with the Owner last night and there will be a new Newsagents setting up there in December (this year). A complete refurbishment apparently!

I think it is the simple case of use it or lose it.
The previous owners were really good, friendly and approachable.
The current owners probably lost a lot of custom when they decided to be shut for the first few months after taking it over.
I have since steered clear and now use the happy shopper, the newsagents no longer does the lottery, or definitely didn't for the first few months and now I feel a bit intimidated by the them after they moved their counter to the door and seem to leer at any potential customer.
