10/12 Elburton Rd.....

Has Grainger sold out to them? That's GT's addy isn't it?

And it looks like Plymouth is going to get an "Outlet" store too

[TLS-Moose]

Especially with the under-utilised space of the Bodmin outlet store .... which I guess is likely to see a lot of sales go to Plymouth One would logically expect some sort of rationalisation to take place there ......

Maybe the Paignton store will fold down too or expand as there isn't much competition in the bay area.

I've not been over to GT's yet but it's a shame that a local business has sold out to a national company! Hope it's a good move!

The torbay store is exactly the same, but cheaper.

Heard through the grapevine today that George Whites are closing all of their stores as of Monday, only keeping Swindon?

[TLS-Moose]

Seems a bit strange, given they've only been open less than a year ......

Have asked a friend of mine to ask when he pops into Bodmin store later for a lid.

Just got a message from Steve Burgess ( Danny Webbs manager) that he has just been invited to the ZX10 launch at Plymouth

Hello Everyone

You have this "from the horses mouth". We are not closing shops and not going anywhere but onwards and upwards!!!! With shed loads of massive bargains no matter what you ride.

We are looking forward to the new season in all our existing stores. We have plans for a race school and more stores near to where you live.

If you want to come and talk to me about it please pop in this week-end. Have a coffee on me and see some of the bargains for yourselves.

Amazing where these "naughty" stories start and how they get out of control.

All the best to everyone. Hope to see you soon.
