The landlord of High Wycombe’s empty Woolworths store has said she may turn it into a bingo hall.
Felicity Devonshire, the managing director of Devonshire Investment Holdings, said the 60,000 square foot site would be sub-divided and the first floor would be an ideal bingo hall.
She told the Bucks Free Press: “It could be broken up into two or three units. It’s a big site, about 60,000 square feet including the first floor, and I do not think in the current climate there is much call for spaces that large. The first floor would be a good site for something like a fitness centre or even a bingo hall.”
The landlord is unable to start converting the property until Woolworth’s administrators, Deloitte, hand back the lease on the site.
Although many bingo halls have closed because of the smoking ban and the increase in online bingo site, good sites for bingo halls are still desirable for operators and new bingo halls have been opening on a regular basis in the UK
