Afflecks is amaaazing. It should be a listed building or somthing, protected from this! It's ingrained in the madchestaaa culture

If you close down Afflecks, you will gradually lose most business from every other shops. As most people visit Manchester, just for Afflecks alone, and while there, they visit the other shops and buy stuff from there. So if you close down Afflecks, the profits from the other shops are just going to decrease. Manchester will look deserted.

Its a gud shop n a gud day out. Some stalls are already quite expensive so a rise in rent would make people stop going!!

It's A Place Where 'The Different People' Can Shop And Ge Food. If You Close It Manchester Would Be Getting Rid Of One Place Where We Can Shop. And Not Get Looked At Like Were Freaks. And If You Close It. We'll Have No Where To Shop. What We Supposed To Do!? Go In To Some Crappy Chav Shop And What!? Turn Chavvy? I Think Not. So Don't Close It. Or You'll Have A Lot Of Angry Teenagers.

I've been dropping into Afflecks since the late eighties, It's always been the best place for an unusual gift, a freaky item of clothing or a rare record. Like Lowry or The Smiths, it's part of our heritage.
#477

rachelann said 02/22/07, 7:47 pm (verified)
it provides a hell of alot of alternative fashions & services which just aren't available on the high street. Also consider how many independant businesses run there, & therefore the hundreds of people who will be put out of business. afflecks is such a huge place with so much to offer. closing it down would kill so much character from manchester.

Bethan said 02/22/07, 7:47 pm (verified)
Afflecks is one of the main reasons why the people I know go to Manchester. It's a completely unique shop and there is nowhere remotely like it for imles around. Don't close Afflecks Palace!

I actually own 'Art & Soul' which is an alternative shop in bolton so aflecks is competition really but You cant close aflecks palace down...it is an institution of manchester and to start getting rid of places like this will only lead to the downfall of the northern qtr itself. Manchester is an individual city why join the ratrace and become just like everywhere else for the sake of an extra few bucks. SAVE AFLECKS!!!!
