Gallows Bay Hardware

I think you need to elaborate.

Rumor has it that Phil is out and the Armstrongs are taking over.

Saw Mary supervising the unloading of a trailer yesterday.

Roger Morgan said on the radio yesterday morning there were familiar faces, ie, Phil, Mary and Stephanie missing from GBH. Didn't hear anymore, so no idea what that meant.

Bombi, do you know why??

Armstrongs would not accept their bid to buy the business, they forced Phil and Mary out. They have given their 2 week notice.

Is this good or bad?

coconut telehraph said it was because the store is a mess. simple stuff like drill dits and saw blades don't get restocked while the store fills up with stuff. The aisles are dangerous.

Who knows, guess we'll wait to see how it shakes out.

Sounds like they're righting the ship before the S.S. Home Depot runs them over. If they focus on great customer service and variety like they have I think they can keep a niche that Home Depot won't fill and survive.

The Armstrong family has had an interest in GBH since it was Gannetts...possibly earlier. Phil and Mary have been a part of that business for a long, long time...it will be sad to see them go. I understand through my own coconut vine (no more reliable than anyone else's) that they will stay on island, though.

The Armstrongs are good at running quality businesses.

It's a hardware store! Sorry... my family's been in the hardware business for 3 generations and I have an affinity for them.

interesting bit of gossip. is there truth to this????and when did this occur??

i like phil and mry, i hope its not true. i also dont find the aisles That messy. i love the different types of items they have also. lots of fun unique items and just Love tool time.

i don't care who runs it as long as they reduce prices. was at home depot in st. thomas last week and the aisles were cleared and the prices and selection so much better.

have been a customer of GBH since the Gannet days and they do need to change things. Phil and Mary can do that as well as anyone else.

i doagree with you on the prices. the are too high. have not been to that home depot in many years. i love home improvement stores. .

i look and dream speedy and want to do the whole house over. no go with you know who? lol

im with you there, dixiechick. we might get to do the kitchen soon ( fingers crossed the landlord says he is ready )

The landlord:-o....LMAO

Juanita, we have a great landord. he had us redo both bathrooms last year and he didnt scrimp on materials . He also has alot of the items in storage for the kitchen, he is just finalizing his plans for the kitchen.
some landlords ARE good. 🙂

I misunderstood your post to Dixie Chick. I thought you were saying HER landlord might let her do the kitchen. Now that would have been funny!

i would like to redo the kitchen no matter landlord, mylord or what......after seeing stuff in home depot i want to redo, and over do.

saw the prettiest counter top. was sort of like a leopard print. very classy. hope home depot carries it. 😀

cool beans Juanta, Dixiechick i hope your "landlord" lets you redo your kitchen.

guess i will have to "withhold" to get the new kitchen ......withhold dinner that is. lol:P

or fry some chicken... whoops sorry dear i forgot the and left the pan on the stove. *-)
