Would somebody like to provide information for a poor soul who can only go back as far as Prestos in Wick.
Just how many names has it had? :roll:

Prestos was the first to occupy that building at the riverside, the ones connie mentioned were the companies that were taken over but were sited elsewhere.

The 20 year Re-union will take place on 5th Aug, in the Francis St Club, the music will be by Whisky band, tickets will cost £3 (to cover costs)


Anyone who worked in the store over the past 20 years are invited.


Already there has been a lot of interest shown and a page is being set up here on the Org's Re-unions page to sign up if you need a ticket.


(of course anyone who worked in the High St store will be most warmly welcomed)

Thanks for that. It's had so many names I'm surprised they bother fixing the signs to the building.
I love seeing the buses with the "Wick Prestos" signs on them. :D
