    Mr justMary was taking to Peter yesterday. Seems the landlord wanted the building back, at fairly short notice too.

    I don't know if this was in the context of rent negotiations or not, but it is a pretty prime location, can imagine some of the chain type businesses being prepared to pay well for it.

    Peter is currently looking around for another building.

    Thats awful. That chap with the classic combover has been in there for years. Always handy for extension leads etc for me.

    You have to assume that he was on a short term lease.

    Reasons for this might include the landlord deciding years ago that he wanted the building "soon", but agreeing that that the current tenant could stay week-by-week or month-by-month. Or other things, like rent being behind.

    I have no idea what the case here is, and would not like to speculate - as people have said, Peter is a very customer-focussed business person, so my instinct would be the latter, but only he and the landlord know the truth of the situation.

    Businesses don't just get "chucked out" of commercial property, there's almost always more going on than meets the eye.

    He seems to have gone online: http://www.galwayelectricalshop.com/

    Funny thing is my Google Chrome browser keeps wanting to translate his page from Czech to English!

    Hard to see how he could have been on a short term lease. Wasn't that shop there for years? Certainly more than 5 years.
