Looks better now than when the fat cûnt had it

"Incredible change"

Bearing in mind the store has had zero work done on it since early 2000’s, I would say This change is incredible...

This thread probably holds the record for

Don't know - if you went on to Kiddiefiddler Street you would probably have the most shoplifters on a football thread.

Sorry, misread shopfitters

Knew a couple of shop fitters 8 to 8 then night shift was in 7 days a week

 

[moiphy]

Worked in a Supermarket during a full refit and store layout change. It was frightening how quickly each aisle was dismantled by one team then reassembled by the next. Like a wave running the length of the shop.

 

[Albert Bridge Bear]

Will be open 6th August no problem. Shop fitters will get tore in about it, 12 hour day/night shifts, 7 days a week, bish bash bosh up in no time then there on to the next job.

You will be surprised mate, even up to the morning of opening it won’t look near ready and as if by magic it all comes together, then snagging will be done over the next few weeks after opening

Shop fitters are rapid. Only variable is the pandemic.

Why would you say that?
That's plenty of time,I work in retail and went through plenty of refits on a lot bigger scale than this.

 

[PeterMSVO86]

i read somewhere that they were planning to have a bit upstairs in the shop , very big shop than i thought it was , cant wait for it to open

The new shop will be on both floors, not the current megastore.

 

[Dave570]

Think the lad is getting a bit carried away.

Shop refits are like Ikea on steroids.

They just throw up cheap shite in no time at all. Fair to say, 6th August is easily attainable.

Doesn't need to be cheap shite but most will be prefabrecated and quick to install.

 

[Danger Zone]

It can be done in a couple of days. It really doesn’t take long to kit out a shop. It’s not as though it’ll be one man doing it all.

[Godrup99]

Are you a quick fit fitter? If so I believe you because you can't get better and are the ones to trust...

Ah, black and white TV adverts

 

[Sam English]

Stores much larger than that have been re-fitted overnight.

 

[Matty1904]

Honestly not sure why it couldn't be ready for the 1st after all. Nothing structural needs done - just paint, carpet and plug in some stuff that's probably pre-assembled off-site. Then add merch.

I'm sure there wanting to do a launch that coincides with Leverkusen game and put something on in bar 72 for the game. Could be wrong but that's my understanding

 

[Worthy_Candidate]

They can kit a shop out in days now, only need to look at the flat pack KFCs and McDs that are thrown up in a week or 2.

I mind driving past a field on my way a two week break and on the way home there was an open and fully functioning McDonalds in the very same field!

 

[dublinbluenose]

Could we not get diy sos on it they renovate a whole house in an hour

Have you never seen DIY SOS?

[RFC_Champions]

That shop will be finished within the next week.

Not a chance that’s getting done by 6th August

FF at its best.

 

[Matty1904]

Wonder if they will have players on male/female/academy modelling the kits/training wear on day store launches.

scotland took.many years n it still ain't open

 

[Barry]

I didn’t realise the store was that big. Excited to see how’s it turns out.

 

[Southside-Bear]

Doubt any player appearances will be a thing until Coronavirus is long gone? Hopefully, I'm wrong though as would be class for the kids.

You can still have them behind a platform to do a launch. Castore did say they were thinking of things for launch day. Just means no personalised photos/autographs

 

[Kilwinnin ranger]

Chill out guys.
Saturday see's fat mikes grip on the store finally come to an end (officially) & return to its rightfull owner.
Its been a long wait, so lets enjoy it when its READY.

 

[Walrus]

In the 90s McDonalds in Livingston was moved completely from one side of the road to the other I think it was closed for 2 days max

 

[Cooper11]

If it's bears doing the work they'll be desperate to get it open on time

 

[Tugay83]

They'll fit out a shop selling clothes, books, mugs etc in a few days.

 

[Cambuslang Bear]

Worked in shopfitting for years and my dad had his own company.

Empty shell like that will take no more than 7 days.

I had to read that twice. I thought you typed worked in shoplifting for years

 

[The Submariner]

Ah, black and white TV adverts

%^*& off. I reckon you are about the same age as me...

[The Moon on Mars is Blue]

Supervised many shopfittings in my career, easily enough time to get it done.

 

[tazzabear]

It could be fitted out in a day ffs

I’ve oversaw bigger units than this to completion on time.
If necessary, teams could work twenty-four/seven to get there.

 

[Parahandy65]

Imperative this opens on the 6th August. My birthday, a days holiday booked and the family duly informed we are going shopping!

On a side note, does anyone know if Argyll House restuarant will be open for lunch on 6th bearing in mind possible Leverkusen beamback later in day? Might as well make a day of it.

 

[grangemouthbairn]

Would be really surprised if its not open on August 6th.
Experienced guys will have this up and running in no time.

 

[Orange Peel]

This thread is some laugh

I know mate, our fans can add shopfitting to their list of expertise alongside football tactics, stadium expansion, power washing, etc, etc, etc...

 

[Professor Yaffle]

I'm happy at the state of it.

Every trace of jumble sale gone

 

[crookie_bear]

I’m thinking most work will be done on the shopfront / signs and a quick spruce up inside , tbh that’s all that is required as we seem to have bigger plans for a new shop in the new building being planned. But this will never be enough for the Rangers fashionistas, they be on here greeting like the total fuds they are

 

[Johnny Fontane]

China built a hospital in a week.

But did they put shelves in? I think not.
