Three or four years ago, when this time of low or negative economic growth began, companies appeared in Abingdon buying gold. First they hired space at the Guildhall on Saturdays.
Then to our surprise one of them opened up a gold buying shop on the Market Place.
That shop has just closed – possibly a sign that better economic growth is about to return.
Gold prices have been falling in the last couple of months. Stock prices have been rising.
Ive heard a Gold Buying shop is opening in the Abbey Shopping Centre. How true that is, I dont know.
That shop was sublet from Scrivens when the opticians moved into Bury Street, It may be that there has been a change in the lease so the Gold Shop has had to move?
Not everything is about businesses booming or failing, there can be a lot more going on than that!
I’ve heard that Java are expanding, again, not sure how true that is.
Good riddance. It was a blight on the market square.
Excellent news
The gold shop ……. one conjures up images of a shop that glitters and sparkles, made entirely of gold, gleaming away in the Market Place 😉 Sorry to see any business close, but I’m sure the Market Place with be a brighter place without it.
