Damn good results!! Gonna say it again. Damn good results!!

I'm more excited about the future here with new store openings maybe or who knows what else but the dividend is now a cracker.

Paid out £300k towards mortgage. Divi paid and still have more cash at half year than the start of the period!!

Interim divi!

And most excited ... LFL sales for the first 8 weeks of the current period up 10%.

News on expansion to come.

[knigel] 26/9/2013 07:11

Stellar results guys. Share price could hit 10p soon imo

[chrisis33] 26/9/2013 07:11

Great stuff. Very pleased

[battlebus2] 26/9/2013 07:10

Yep and a possible start to expansion again. Slightly disappointed at the LFL but i guess i was being a little over optimistic though last 8 weeks are currently trading at 10%!!. 1 million cash a year easy.

Fingers crossed

[chrisis33] 25/9/2013 22:03

7% would be awesome. Best luck crawshawers

[playful] 25/9/2013 21:23

It was always going to be a Tuesday or Thursday...

Anyway 7% plus and I'm happy!

[battlebus2] 25/9/2013 21:07

Yep, hopefully those LFL are 10%+ :))

[chrisis33] 25/9/2013 20:32

No I hadn't noticed... thanks for the heads up! I await in anticipation.

[battlebus2] 25/9/2013 18:21

Just incase some didn't notice,
The interim results for the six months to 31st July, 2013 will be announced on the 26th September, 2013.

[battlebus2] 25/9/2013 10:39

Results tomorrow guys and gals!

[playful] 24/9/2013 23:36

Well let's be honest I have a 50% chance of getting it right...

[chrisis33] 24/9/2013 22:37

Thanks Playful.

[playful] 24/9/2013 22:00

I'd have my money on Tuesday Oct 1st

[battlebus2] 24/9/2013 15:59

Hi C.R. are you dabbling in a few of these :)) Results date should be out this week.

[cockneyrebel] 24/9/2013 15:55

Results Oct 3rd last year.

CR

[chrisis33] 24/9/2013 13:57

Nice little burst to boost the share price too

[playful] 24/9/2013 00:40

Nice to see a little burst of activity on twitter but they need to re-tweet customer feedback too... It's not all about engaging them on the shop floor.

[battlebus2] 23/9/2013 18:27

Thanks Ali, will keep an eye out. Shame about the tick down last thing.

[investali] 23/9/2013 17:26

I know my holding is much smaller than most on here but I did email Lynda this morning to ask that very question, as yet no date but she is getting those concerned to pick a date which she expects to be later this week. Details will be posted on the web page.

This time round what do we expect?


Ali.

[chrisis33] 23/9/2013 11:47

Anyone know what day interim results are expected?

[chrisis33] 20/9/2013 10:39

Interesting. The sort of service that's totally absent from the supermarkets? share price rising trend looking strong.

[battlebus2] 20/9/2013 10:25

Yes very good news playful. I always like the American style of meeting and greeting at the door, puts you in a better mood to spend more .
