DATELINE 1st NOVEMBER 2008: you may have read in the national press that, after over thirty years, BEANOS is finally to close. We have been experiencing very poor trade for several years. We did announce an imminent closure two years ago but public reaction encouraged us to reduce the size of the operation and we have been trading on just the ground floor since. Unfortunately, this is no longer possible and we are now selling off all the remaining stock and hope to have cleared the bulk early in 2009. So, BEANOS will only be a memory but, we are building something that will be just as exciting, called “Market Place”, where we will have 50 small stalls and shops in our beautiful building.
