gjones Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 This is very encouraging. I was afraid they would go out of business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uk_lefty Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 My in laws have a small independent pet shop. Through lockdown they opened less hours and did tons more trade. People wanted something to keep their kids busy or were at home so much more they treated their pets to upgraded toys and so on, also people didn't want to go in to the big national chain stores and support the local shops. Long may some of those attitudes continue when we are out of the woods with the virus.... Though the people on minimum wage in the big national stores need to pay rent and eat too....

BassBunny Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 We've a small music shop locally who was doing very little until lockdown. Since then, and the local Dawsons closing, he has seen a huge increase. Even got interviewed for NW tonight. Apparently people wanted to learn an instrument whilst in lockdown. Uke's were the most popular followed by guitar. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FDC484950 Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 Ironic given how little is selling on here (or more accurately a larger percentage of forum members selling than normal, and very few buying). I haven’t bought a new bass from a shop in well over 10 years, and I’m far from hard up, so I’d love to know Where are the bass-buying punters flush with cash? Then again sales of plectrums may account for 80% increased sales 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
