They have bought tackle fanatics in Guildford. It will open on 2nd September as another Angling Direct. I wonder how big they want to be with any more stores or will the bubble burst and it all come crashing down.
Angling Direct also have their own brand of tackle called "Adventa", sounds very similar to what Roger Surgay used to sell "Avanti" , this looks like cheap n cheerful copies of main brand items of tackle that can be obtained elsewhere.
I did read that and seems to me that they intend the biggest player in the field. Without competition prices will rise. To a shareholder profit is all that matters. The little man as had his day.
I did go to the Wigan store and it was a mess, as they said it was due to them adding more stock so they where changing the store around. And their mail order, because I wouldn't pay the extra for next day it took 5 days just for 2 items. I know it says 2 to 5 days but that was just a joke.
