Opinions, please, on what folk think of the activities of the businessmen who previously owned Skinadi's (Eves) in Thurso, Domino's and the Rosebank in Wick, along with the Monza shop, the wreckage at the Towns Square, Thurso and a whole raft of other enterprises.
This for a genuine piece of research into Caithness business practice, past and present.

A genuine piece of research but centred on one family, seems a bit strange to me.:roll:
most of them burnt down!!!:confused
well if they still own the ex-dominos, they should be ashamed of themselves for letting it lie in ruins for so long, and so should the council for allowing it!

It certainly is a mess as is the building where the old coop used to be [ Francis street] in fact looking at the state of the roof on the Francis st building i would guess that it s surely unsafe . cant something be done with these buildings as the old coop is just about the first building you see when entering Wick & the old Pavilion is nearly the last.
Both are prime sites i would have thought. What an advert for Wicks tourist trade .????????

The old co-p building is presently being looked at by a local building firm for building houses.
There's so many eye-sores what about the building that was once larnach's shop?
you would think with all the investment and retail parks opening up just now , some one would take over these buildings and , turn them into housing or even small retail units, makes you wonder if the big companies are getting help setting up here.........

yes the garage is in ruins also,it belongs to Richard,s who own the petrol station across the road. believe that they also own the coop building to & the scrap yard round the corner in Loch street

Well if the co-op building is going to be developed then it would tidy that corner up if the garage was included in this.

No you could see in the showroom window for free or even go in there and it would'na cost a penny for a look, try that way the dominoes, no chance.:eek:

That building should have been demolished when they widened the road there.
