Wholefoods Vinicombe Street

Postby anbu » Thu Apr 25, 2013 10:05 am

Hi all, Anna Burnside here, freelance journalist.
Anyone heard anything concrete about Wholefoods Market's plan to take over the old Arnold Clark garage on Vinicombe Street? Rumours fleeing around apparently. This story ran in the Herald http://www.heraldscotland.com/mobile/ne ... e.20825651
I'm trying to find out if there's any kind of story in it for me.
Thanks in advance
Anna

Anna,

Thanks - if there is any way you could swing
this with Arnold Clark to accept those Texan's
proposals it'd be good.

It was annoying having to buy 5 bars of Madagascan
Chocolate to qualify for the free Nissan mini-cab
ride back to Byres Rd. (Unclear if they actually
have any proper Manganese Bronze Hackney Cab style
"Taxis" in EastRen). Therefore it'd be handy to
have a local outlet, a mere 44 plus a toddle away.

Biggest AutoJumbler north of Manchester, however
doesn't matter how many cars he's sold to happy
customers (and batted off any moaners) if his
legacy is as a charmless property shark (or rather
his lieutenants and advisers were trying to guide
him that way). Block of flats indeed !

Obliged,
MungoDundas

Despite recent changes to the west end of the route I do believe the 44 stops opposite Whole Foods in Clarkston and there's a handy pedestrian crossing en route.

Hi Anna

I was hoping some Millionare classic car enthusiast would take it on as a working car museum, where the public could bring their classic pride and joy's to be repainted and mechanicaly maintained. Just another dream of mine, Mr Arnold clark could do this himself if he wanted to, id jump at the chance to do a project like that if someone gave me it !

I am flattered in your confidence in my powers of influence. Doing my best ...
MungoDundas, did Whole Foods actually run a service to the west end? Did you use it? Details please! I thought it was an urban myth.

I thought it was a 38 on Fenwick Rd?
44's good for the Eat-Deli.
