Spoilsports

having trouble 'getting on' hammy??

his modesty becomes him

He comes in for a lot of flak on here but looks to be going strong all the same

as one of their chief critics ill have to say that they are getting  a bit braver in the shops!!..

They arent any worse than powers in all fairness,thats the most despicable outfit of the lot.At least boyles have comfortable shops and they are cleaned regularly,the same cant be said of the other crowd

The article was a bit boastful alright I thought.Considering PP made 5 million in their shops last year,which works out at 500 a week per shop,John Spoils crowd must be complete and utter geniuses paying about 70k approx per annum rent per shop and still make it pay.Maybe Im missing something here.

what article?..any link

Racing post yesterday.Jonny Mullin did an interview with the self proclaimed genius.

Considering they are locked into stupid rents for many of their shops for leases made during the boom years the fact that they are still growing suggests that he is doing something right.

your not a believer so hammy u need to unlock that genius inside you

I think pp made €5m in their shops for the first 6 months which wound equate to €1k per week.I would doubt spoils are anywhere near this but the €1k per week would be after deducting expenses such as rent.

Just a personal opinion but the boss of Spioils came across as a dislikeable individual in the interview.Good to see his caring attitude to his employees though

Thats my point,if his rent is 10 million as he declares,he must be paying a huge bit more than PP on average.

Sorry I misinterpreted what you were saying.I
would imagine his turnover per shop would on average be lower than flowers with higher average rents.I wonder what level of borrowing he has given the average kit out per shop which was reputedly north of €200k.

-------160-----only 1 in the six counties surley there is a market for the great man in the north..any1 ever been in the grafton street store?d2

Fur coat shop nextdoor is bigger, says it all really.

Yea Grafton is a small shop but i would not think the rent is cheap there
