The ladies at Curves gym have been sourcing and saving up stock for the Red Cross shop for some time and today (Weds 12th) they were treated to a preview of a remarkably fitted out shop with a large range of merchandise that will undoubtedly be a major asset to the High Street. The Curves girls are in there from 12- 2 p.m and after that, although the shop is officially open tomorrow, the Gurn understands that the premises will be open to the public for a wee while today too.
Below is a wee slide show of the interior of the shop. Individual images can be seen here. Full screen slideshow here.

Spend your money Nairnites as their top exec Sir Nicholas Young is paid the paltry salary of £184,000

Regardless of what the high heid yin gets anon we're far better with that shop the way it is today rather than the way it was a few weeks ago. If they have items a price that people are willing to pay then I don't think most people will be happy.
I would hope that Nairn folk would have a bit of a social conscience when they choose which charity shop to spend money with and don't just judge it on prices
An open shop it now may be, but that doesn't mean we should automatically give it the thumbs up
I understand that the old Blockbuster store is going to become a bookies, gambling causes misery for many families so I wouldn't support that business either
Agreed on the bookies, one is enough in any town.
Late to this but if the likes of Vodafone or Starbucks opened up a store in Nairn would people flock though the door bearing in mind that these companies have avoided paying a lot of tax in the UK? We need to be aware of the companies we're buying from and that includes charities.
with respect craisg,
surely its up to each individual how to spend their money,ladbrokes need competition,and at least council will be in receipt of more rates instead of a shop lying empty
narook.
I just hope that we don't forget about the other charity shops in Nairn. It is all very well going for the shiny new one and forgetting about the ones that are working on a shoestring. Not many of the charity shops in Nairn have bosses that could buy a house for a years wages.
It's good to put some spin on it but another charity shop opening on our High st is hardly cause for any celebration. It just shows the downward spiral of High St retail, no so many months ago we had a shoe shop there, and I'm sure most of us would rather have kept that than be offered yet another charity store.
Yes the shop will create a job or two, and yes it's another shop open rather than boarded up but is this the best that the High St can now offer us? Is so I don't hold out much hope for it's future, and the mention of car parking charges will just about finish it
There were some shoes in the Red Cross shop anon.
I Hope Graisg will be asked to cut the ribbon at the official opening.
and on another note, what is the point reading the gurn, when you cant not comment on the subjects?????
Graisg stop being so controlling and let folk comment on subjects, or i want a refund.
@anon 10.49 p.m you make a comment about the price of an item in the shop and suggest a better deal would be available in Primark.
The problem with price quotes form anon sources is verification.
Will admit however that we seem to be long past the days when charity shops were a two-way deal - i.e. they were places to go and get clothing if you didn't have much money.
Has the shop now been officially opened & if so who performed the ceremony ?
