I have recently been informed that there is another salon opening up about 10 units up from me!
I run an established salon (over 12 years) in an area which already has 4 salons and 2 barbers. When I first heard this I looked on the local council planning application site and there were no applications for the new salon, the unit which is being taken over is a retail premises so surly this new salon owner would have to gain planning permission?
I contacted the local council but they can't give out information without a reference number and the local MP is a waste of space.
I've heard the new salon is due to open end of this month, no doubt undercutting all established salons in the area, we are all fuming!!
I guess it's to late to do anything about it now, but I just wanted to have a rant...URRGGGHHHH!!!
