Just watched Bargain fever on ITV tonight just a shame they did not feature Crawshaws.

We have a great opportunity to take some of those morrisons high street stores that are currently available, allowing us to immediately increase our footprint on the high street.

I do wonder if the share price rise of recent days is in any connected to end-H1 having been 31-Jul-15, or perhaps the momentum within the business is just becoming more apparent to those in and around it.

Apologies re the above as I know that's been discussed here before but I think it's worth revisiting. The Derby store I visited a couple of weeks back seemed to be pretty busy. Hopefully others are too.

If they continue to prove that each shop is profitable and like for like are increasing a little bit then that proves the model. If they manage £50k profit per shop then with 200 shops that's £10m which would likely put this at £200m mcap. Obviously if they grow profits per store or open more there is more upside. That coupled with being able to open new shops without any extra cash means that the growth is actually incredibly visible. A fairly unique investment opportunity from that perspective.

Chart looks good, significant increase in volume, suggests an increasing price near term.Ignore pe ratio, the market does not take this into account , it is looking to the future not the present.

12 month+ high today @67p.

[ramas] 04/8/2015 16:22

Running ahead of itself near term imo

[tadders2] 04/8/2015 13:35

Yes ...one trade of 500,000 shares.

[scottishfield] 04/8/2015 11:23

Some sizable trades here today : added.

[battlebus2] 03/8/2015 16:33

Sorry, can't read for the life of me, yep 300k reduction indeed......

[skinny] 03/8/2015 16:28

I think is a by 300k.

[hydrus] 03/8/2015 16:28

Think they sold some rather than bought

[battlebus2] 03/8/2015 16:23

Holdings decrease announced.

[battlebus2] 31/7/2015 10:15

Looks like good timing so far...

[tadders2] 31/7/2015 09:53

Somebody just bought £160k worth of shares.

[dragonsteeth] 31/7/2015 09:30

A nice rise so far. Although a small cap AIM share I have Craw in my long term portfolio and am relaxed about daily share price movements , provided their overall strategy continues to be working. I'm much more happy with a steady 5 % per month, 5 % rise per day makes me giddy.

[tadders2] 31/7/2015 09:20

Must have sold a lot of sausages yesterday.

[hydrus] 31/7/2015 08:43

It's getting close to having another go at the ATH was this tipped today?

[playful] 28/7/2015 07:29

New CEO reminds me of a young Archie Norman so let's hope for a similar performance.

[battlebus2] 27/7/2015 22:04

Thanks guys, hopefully in good time to see the new store openings accelerate.
