Just read Fishing Republic in Crewe/Lakemore is closing later this year. I don't use the shop that often myself but I'm sure a lot of you older Cheshire anglers will remember Nick from Stapely Angling who works there. Hoping the guys there find something else quick, lot of knowledge between them.

Angling Direct are opening a store in chester, round the corner from an established decent tackle shop - The tackle.store. I hope everyone of chester and the surrounding areas don't put a foot in angling direct and the tackle store goes.from strength to strength.

Tackle and Baits in Saltney closed only last week, due to a.massive hike.in rent and not worth them trading

Knowing the people of Chester, it'll be ram raided within a week of opening. They ram raided Andys shop not long after opening

Where is the Angling Direct store going to be? Same industrial estate? That will be a free for all for shop lifting I'd be surprised if they manage to sell anything at all.

Bloody hell, yeah more or less on top of each other. Shame these big firms have to muscle in on smaller businesses but I'm sure the majority of people will still shop at Andys

That's a bit aggressive from AD, but not surprising.

historically AD on their opening day put a van outside the local tackle shop advertising the location of the new AD, I'm telling you now,if they do that outside the tackle store it won't end up well!!!!!!!
Are you sure?
