Hey Everybody, Colin here and welcome to this special post all about the business I co-own with Chris
As any regular readers to our blog will be aware i co-own +Mind Games Southport with a family friend, Christopher Millward.
Mind Games Southport was set up as a business after we were both made redundant from our job in a book shop in Southport. It opened in +Southport Market Hall on Monday 2nd July 2012.
In March we were informed by the powers that be at Sefton Council, who now run Southport Market after a short spell of it being run by Quarterbridge Project Management that at the end of our lease we would have to leave the Market. We were stunned by this as we paid our rent on time and in full every single week and the market management never received a single complaint about us. When asked for a reason they simply said they didn't see Jigsaws as "Commercially Viable" anymore.
Despite contacting the press and lots of complaints from our regular customers the market management stood firm and we vacated our unit in the market on Saturday 30th May 2015
Since the news was delivered to us by Market Management that they were standing firm and we would definitely be leaving we have been in negotiations with several different landlords about opening at a new premises.
We are very pleased to announce that +Mind Games Southport will be re-opening on Monday 15th June at Number 2a Somerset Buildings on Hill Street in Southport Town Centre
