Who runs a business and how's trade?

I can imagine. I looked at hiring some tools this summer to sort my garden out. It is almost cheaper to buy aldi ones assuming they sell the ones you need.

You should focus on what people can't do DIY. Stump removal, mini diggers etc. I've chopped loads down and now have a garden of stumps...

Strange you should say that as I'm removing a couple of stumps for someone this Saturday

I'm fucked at the moment.
My shop is in the middle (literally) of a building site. No passing trade or footfall. Been like this for 18 months and delays mean another 12 months still to go.
If i make it through to the re-openinf of the town centre i'll be laughing due to holding a prime spot.
THe dilemma is do i hold out and lose money or jack it in and retire fully.

Have you contacted you landlord and advised? We had a similar issue and paid no rent for 6 months, where is the shop?

Ha, been banging that drum to no avail. Landlord is the council but building operated by a charity. Neither wanna know.

My coffee shop, customers up,turnover up, costs up more than I could increase prices so profits down about 3 or 4%.

The rise in costs is a real challenge for many businesses these days.

Turn it into a pie shop or chippy. I’ve never seen a builder eat a healthy meal.

So true, if they put the prices up customers go elsewhere. More and more regulations and it’s only going to get worse. Those who just turn up each day, get a regular wage and go home each day without a care in the world have no idea of the pressures of running a business.

Business has really picked now now that Winter is on it's way.

(Don't DM me. I don't really sell these. Weirdos. )
