George Whites, Bodmin - Closed
Just a heads up to save anyone else doing a 70 mile round trip.
Understand they are relocating their stock from Bodmin to Plymouth, nothing on their website hence wasted journey yesterday!
From speaking to the Gul shop here in Falmouth I understand it's more to do with Gul closing the clothing side of their business & not renting/leasing out the premises to GW.
Have looked on website this morning, Bodmin no longer listed.

4 shops in total, including St.Austell.
Restructuring apparently.

Me too was not even anything worth looting in there if a riot did break out in Bodmin, well there where some £9.99 helmets that would make good plant pots if the where 99pbambam wrote:no great loss as when i popped in there a few weeks ago it was mainly hideous coloured one piece leathers and a few waterproof bits and odd and sods of helmets gloves etc.

I believe they were going to merge the 2 stores into 1 and all at Bodmin with the lease a done deal, something's changed somewhere and it will now be interesting to see what happens in this area!!!!badgerKDD wrote:well the poor chap i spoke to a week ago will be pissed off, he was talking about how when they got the new lease for bodmin they were going to expand to the size of swindon, oops!! ;) glad i got my gloves that weekend then hehehehehehe!

Re: George Whites, Bodmin - Closed
Sorry to drag up a slightly older topic, but went in to St Austell today to see GT had gone!
By chance, does anyone know if the 5 year service plan that we took out with GT would be valid with George White in Plymouth?
