What's wrong with placing an apostrophe in the proper name Bevan's, anyway?
Just over four months in and things are changing now that Ruthin Décor is well and truly part of Rightway Bevan's.
And not all of it is bad.
There are new paint colouring machines on site, so that's a good sign of investment. Another is one of the former directors is now manager. That's Maureen (and I can't help adding 118 212 to her name) Birch. She certainly provides continuity. A third are the changes we see to the car park.
And a fourth is an internal reorganisation, with the moving of the till area.
On the other hand, there's some evidence of cheaper goods for sale (though perhaps Bevan's might dispute such a thing). One wonders whether the wallpaper will last long: a lot of it is on sale.
A range of garden products now for sale, including furniture, pots, compost and wheelbarrows
Then there's garden products previously not stocked. Such items go beyond 'décor'. These compete with the garden centre on Lôn Parcwr and other items such as garden implements also at King's. In fact, there are products now stocked that we assume deliberately compete with King's. This is something previously Ruthin Décor largely avoided. But that's capitalism for you.
To me, the yellow and red of Rightway Bevan's just shouts 'cheap'. But we also need not forget that Bevan's is a long-established company, incorporated 70 years ago. The Bevan family finally relinquished responsibility in October 2008, 15 years ago.
