Is there any rumours around the town of what is going in the building where Woolworth's was? Does anyone one know what the new bar/restaurant is called on Fore Street by Woolworth's. When I was last down there in September it was just being finished off. What is it like? Anyone been?

I presume you mean the one that is opposite the fudge shop on the fork in the road called Firehouse Bar and grill? It is a modern looking place that is pulling in the crowds.
Not been in but worth a visit.

Latest news is that Tesco will be taking over Woollies.

Thanks for the info, that's great. Can't wait to get down to St Ives which will be in the next couple of weeks!!

Tesco's sounds like a reasonable alternative in terms of getting bits and bobs and not having to go out of town to do so - hope they still stock a little selection of kids toys etc though as my girls used to love popping in there to spend their pocket money!

any more news yet on what it will become?

(Tesco) I hope not. The fact there are virtually no 'chains' in the town is the reason it remains the place it is. I would prefer it if Subway was out of town.

There is activity in Woolies, maybe I asked the wrong question but they were not saying who is moving in...

wellworths maybe. lol. I hope it's something decent. I think it would be wrong to open another gallery or restaurant. Something for the people that live there, not for the visitors.
