    New Store???

    Just heard on "the grapevine" that the Macclesfield showroom is moving to Wilmslow. Have YOU heard anything?

    Re: New Store???

    Well - whilst we were munching on our grass, we did hear a cry of "how did they know that?" come from one of the rooms with an open window..

    We can say no more...

    Re: New Store???

    The new Wilmslow store has nothing to do with Macclesfield its opening with a brand new owner who was working for Bang & Olufsen UK,

     His name is Andrew so when it opens go and say hello and show him some support!!!!!!

     He is a really nice guy and will help you out as best he can.

    Cheers

    That's correct with the new owner, but it is replacing the previous store in Macclesfield, and today just recieved a letter from Bang & Olufsen UK confirming this.

     But yes we wish Andrew and team all the very best.

    Re: New Store???

    A brand new showroom has just opened in Adelaide here in Australia which is amazing, if i had a better camera than the Serene i'd love to post pictures here, it's a store to be very proud of. It's located on one of our cities most active streets, so brand awareness should sky-rocket, very good news, considering not one person who has walked into my house so far, actually knows what the Beosounds and Beolabs (on stands) actually are - lol!

    Indeed - Andrew is one of the good guys, so he deserves the best of luck. 

    Wilmslow is central to the shopping of the "Cheshire Set", so I am sure he will be fine - One of the more recent high profile new-store openings in Wilmslow was the (now defunct) Air Bar, selling, amongst other things, puffs of pure Oxygen to the good ladies of Cheshire.  Good for the skin, allegedly.  It was frequented by one specific "posh" resident, apparently. 

    People were paying for air - which is freely available outside !!!  Quite literally, money for nothing.  So money for something should be a doddle.

    Oooh! does that make me a member of the 'Cheshire Set'  as I regularly visit Greggs the bakers in Wilmslow :)

    Re: New Store???

    Well after all the talk about sheep and Greggs I thought it was time to join Beoworld and tell you all what's happening.

    Yes Wilmslow is opening soon. I have acquired some great premises in Bank square in sunny Wilmslow, and the shop fit starts on Monday.

    With a few changes in the Northwest recently Macclesfield closed as it's lease had come to an end, and Stephen who was at Macclesfield is currently running Bramhall.  Later this Summer when Wilmslow is ready to open, Bramhall will be closing and Stephen will be coming to work with me in Wilmslow.

    If everything goes to plan, we should be open in 6 weeks or so by the end of August so keep an eye on Beoworld, and when I've got some photos of our progress I'll post and you'll be the first to know.

    Thanks for all the great comments from Colleagues and friends, and will be back with more info soon.

    Andrew

    Among all this excitement - now that you've joined Beoworld, you can also be the first bonafide dealer to (openly) also take part in Wednesdays©.

    Now there is a landmark worth grabbing with both hands (and it costs you nowt)Big Smile
