The trouble with Dominos is that the quality can vary. They're quite spotty.

Funny and True at the same time!.

Shopping malls dying here and USA. Glazers in trouble. Why don’t they sell that club of theirs? @Prestwich_Blue reckons Glazers may have pledged their rag shares to prop up the malls.

No it's more to do with the fact you are 20 years behind the rest of the world.

I've been saying for a while they need to convert the old Debenhams end into an artisan/market type place like there used to be ( it wasn't artisan originally mind you ). Give out cheap space that is not being used, any businesses from the markets that do well then allowed to rent empty space at a discount and slowly increase the rent ( at an agreed level ) until the TC is getting similar revenue to where they used to be.

Brings life back to the centre while boosting small businesses. Win win.

John lewis do it to an extent at Christmas, they have some small market stalls in there selling stuff.

For reference. the Trafford centre is actually larger than a lot of American malls. it would sit in the top 10 size wise over there. and I dont think that includes what was Barton Square.
