The future of Jessops in Abingdon Market Place is in doubt after the company went into administration today.
Last weekend I went in to pick up some prints that had been delayed because the printing machine was out of order. The prints were delayed further because of problems getting a part. Maybe that was all symptomatic of larger difficulties.
On 25th Feb 2006 this blog reported that Jessops were taking over from That Camera Place and would now compete with Klick.
Klick is now the Cutting Bar. What will become of Jessops?
Good spot for a Tesco Metro….
joking joking…
A much needed extension for Costa perhaps?
Lets hope the administrators find a buyer willing to keep the shops open.
I agree with Col – but failing that a wine bar or French-style cafe/bar would be nice (not just another coffee shop)
A perfect opportunity for costa to expand, whether people agree with the franchise or not, the expansion is definitely needed.
I dont have anything against the costa franchise – I just don’t like there coffee very much 🙁
Sorry – their not there!
I hear on the rumour mill, a new crystal shop could be taking its place. Check my blog ‘Abingdon Truth’ for updates – my ear is always to the ground.
James, I can’t leave a comment on your blog for some reason but please do stick with the facts. It was not tax payer’s money spent on Bury Street but Scottish Widows’ money. Telling people otherwise isn’t very Truthful.
That’s usually the problem when you keep your ear stuck on the ground – you can’t see to the horizon !
As long as it doesn’t become a coffee shop called Harris+Hoole which just happens to be 49% owned by Tesco
Simonw….would we get clubcard points?
Jessops to shut all stores, just been on the News
This is a shame good luck to all who work at our local Jessops .
A real shame as was so convenient. Could anyone kindly let me know where the nearest photographic development shop might be to the town centre? Many thanks.
Boots. But if you need help/service you ofen have to wait ages. Jessops staff were always very helpful.
I’ve got a Scottish Widow’s ISA. Do I get a discount when shopping in Bury Street?
Ybuynu love your shop it is like gear change is back in Abingdon woohooo
