    Hey all,

    Does anybody know who owns the old charity shop thats been closed for a few months on Tollington Park (next to the hairdressers)

    I'd really like to turn it into a funky mens clothing store!

    Cheers peeps

    (I'm loving this, because it looks like i have local knowledge. Unfortunately, this is the only single morsel of knowledge that i have)

    Last I heard, that shop has been rented to the Front Room Cafe next door, see the link below. I think they are currently sorting out planning.

    There's another empty shop along from there though?

    But a men's store? I'd welcome it, but not sure it's got passing trade for that?

    The store would play to the area's strenghts, i'll have fresh new up and coming urban labels for example (www.idlejoe.co.uk ), and allow young designers to showcase their warez, with some classic brands (old skool adidas, levi, diesel, abercrombie & fitch) laced with some cutting edge threads (LRG, ED Hardy) and maybe some hip hop influence (a bathing ape, Billionaires Boys Club, Evisu)

    Pushing these brands at sensible prices will sell, of course i'm open to your suggestions....

    Sounds great to me. But do me a favour and stock waist 34-36 - I seem to have literally out-grown Covent Garden.

    Sounds like a good idea. There are a couple of shops like that in Crouch End (just past Banners) and nothing like it round our way.

    I'd worry whether there's enough passing trade though. Unless you want a wig or a cows foot, there aren't many great retail options.It's cafes, pubs and restaurants all the way.
