Are they snobs? What Mancunians think about Ramsbottom high street shop front row
07.02.2022 - 17:56 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Debate continues to rage in Ramsbottom over a new shop's front.
The Manchester Evening News reported a backlash as locals took issue with its appearance.
The Tech Zone/Mega Store on Bolton Road only recently opened - and its frontage became the talk of the town on a local Facebook group.
Some called the store's appearance an 'eyesore' not in keeping with the feel of the rest of the row of shops.
Others - including the store's owner Istiqlal Hanif - couldn't care less.
There have been accusations of snobbery and references to the 'look' of Cheetham Hill - countered by comments referencing a 'fantastic uplift' to an '18th century area'.
"Shame they chose that signage as it doesn't fit into the beautiful town, shops and bars Ramsbottom is proud of," said one Facebook user.
Another said pointedly: "It's about time people of Ramsbottom got their heads from up their a***s."
Mr Nanif sensibly didn't get involved.
The issue first became apparent on the Facebook group, What's on in Ramsbottom, when people were quick to voice their opinions over the store's look - it operates as a tech repair shop as well as a general store selling all sorts from DIY supplies to gift cards and stationary.
"We were going to do leaflets but there was no need because everyone was going mad on Facebook. They've done it for us," said Mr Nanif in response.
But the debate - an intriguing mixture of mirth, incredulity and heartfelt passion - shows now sign of abating, as comments on our story prove.
"Whinging snobs who don't like the look of the shop could always rent or buy a shop and decorate it to their own taste." said one poster on the M.E.N. website.
Another added: "It could be far worse, it could be another takeaway, dishing out processed slop
