    Default Dominos, Wick

    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.

    Has this "genuine piece of research" got anything to do with your other threads re business practice in Caithness?

    Your asking for research on wick's rumour mill
    You'll get all the arms and legs for your research then
    Why not go and ask the business men to help you with your research! what purpose is your research? is it just being plain old nosey.

    A genuine piece of research but centred on one family, seems a bit strange to me.

    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 .????????

    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.........

    hope that it goe,s ahead the actual building itself looks solid & square with good dressed stone on the frontage. as for the pavilion , reckon it s a job for the bulldozer,s. many a great night i had in it when it was a picture house, lol?

    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.

    yes but Richards have a showroom in the Loch st side of that building, But i suppose that would be included in the renovations too. Would sure tidy up that part of the town.
