Alvis 3.1 Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 The hobby shop I've worked at for around 15 years is up for sale, as the owner is wanting to retire while he can still enjoy retirement. News story here: Please note, headline is misleading, it's NOT closing, just being put on the market.http://www.timescolonist.com/business/bc-shaver-and-hobbies-store-hangs-it-up-after-50-years-1.23330655 Alvis 3.1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

riffraff Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 That is a very good hobby shop. Was in there once while visiting Victoria. I got there near closing time so I didn't have alot of time, but they let me stay for about 20 minutes after closing. Very nice people. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RCAFFAN Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 Great shop...Always stop in whenever I visit Victoria so hope that someone keeps it going.......maybe a future part of the ARC corporate group with Alvis as manager😉 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Slartibartfast Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 I would relish managing a la Basil Fawlty. The only thing wrong with retail is the customers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
