Looking through the job ads, I saw that Cotton Trader are going to be opening a shop in the moto services in ferrybridge. Seems a bit of an odd place to open a clothing shop? Can’t say i’ve seen anything like it in any other motorway services. What you reckon good or bad business move?

Cheers

Strensham has had Cotton Traders shops for a long time, there’s one opened in Magor last year too, so it must be working for them !

You should get out more.

There are a few service areas with clothing retailers inside.

4

Chester svcs m56 has one too! :sunglasses:

5

Services at Scotch corner when I’ve stopped in my car is more like a supermarket.

6

Good business move surely.

Think of all the OAPs stopping off at the services after they day trip on the coach.

Same reason there’s cotton traders at many garden centres.

7

Toddington nth bound has a Cotton Traders too.

If ever anyone is up Bakewell way on holiday there is a c-t outlet shop at Rowsley. Unfortunately no hgv parking near.

Strensham need all the help they can get, not even with an employer that doesn’t complain about paid parking, I aint giving them £27, I think the attitude I got off the gay fella at the coffee shop came for free.

I went in a cotton traders today (Woodlands garden centre :blush: ), they had quite a stock of rugby shirts for the larger sized guys, maybe OAP’s are getting bigger these days… :laughing:
I must admit it does seem like decent quality stuff in there for a reasonable price.
