Clarets Store

Post by BurnleyFC » Sun Apr 18, 2021 8:13 am

Does anybody know if the store at Charter Walk is still closed and is the store at the Turf Moor still closed on Sundays?

Looks like they've moved out of the charter walk shop.

They continue to tell us that the shop on Charter Walk continues to be closed but they made the staff there redundant months ago.

Suppose that’s a reason for it to be closed

It is a shame though. Not having an “in town” store could be a mistake.
Not everyone is able to get to Turf Moor easily, whereas if you are in town, you could just pop in if you needed something (admittedly the choice wasn’t always that great as they never had the full stock in)

The number of times people went in for things to be told they were only at the store at the ground was ridiculous. I know it wasn't the biggest of shops but they could, had they been allowed, have stocked a lot more. On non match days it probably should be the main store (in normal world) because there are people in town but not people hovering around the ground.

They've never said anything other than it remains closed but the evidence suggests for now that it isn't going to open.

Completely agree, it should be the main store on non-match days.

I understand the reason for closing due to COVID, but now that the world is (hopefully) getting back to normal, the overheads for it surely aren’t that much for a Premier League club to accommodate.

It is probable that the overheads of running a town centre store are substantially greater than at the much bigger one at the Turf (rents and rates). Our retail operation revenues of £1.8m from 2 physical stores and online are such that the Town Centre store has probably struggled to break-even in normal times and under current regulations would be losing money hand over fist.

I’ve often wondered why the club have never looked to pick up one of the units opposite the College.... a huge football intake, McDonalds and Asda and units that are obviously priced so as to be worth a go for testing the water. It would make much more sense than Turf in Town... which unless you go into the centre (I cannot remember last time I did) is really more awkward than going to the Turf.

Lots of lads and dads would pop in whilst the ladies did ASDA etc.
Good idea.

Hello. Anyone having problems ordering online? Trying to order the '88 away shirt which became available recently but every time I press 'checkout' it takes me to my account details. Nothing wrong with my account details or anything as far as I can see, just seems to be a glitch, so I'm never able to get as far as my payment details and delivery details, just a dead end. It's annoying.

Same here, just tried to place an order for Christmas and can't get past payment details.
