Shop Closure
08/10/2008
It is with regret that we have recently announced the closure of our launderette on Fulwood Road. A closure date is yet to be decided but likely to be the end of 2008.
The launderette has been a part of Goodman Sparks for nearly 30 years, during which time our loyal staff have built up an equally loyal customer base. I would like to say a big thank you to the staff and customers for their service and custom they have given to Goodman Sparks.
The closure is in no way a reflection of the staff at Fulwood. They have always given our customers an excellent personal service. I know this because since announcing the closure I have had a stream of customers telling me so. I am hoping that all the Fulwood staff will transfer to our branch on Ecclesall Road.
Last year, due to increasing regulations on Dry Cleaning emissions, we were forced to shut down the Fulwood Dry Cleaning operation and since then have transferred the work to and from our Ecclesall Road branch. We have invested over £50,000 in Dry Cleaning equipment at Ecclesall Road to ensure we comply with all emissions regulations and Health and Safety regulations. As a result we can now offer the highest quality cleaning in Sheffield.
I do hope that all our loyal Fulwood customers will join us in moving to Ecclesall Road where they will meet up again with the familiar faces from Fulwood. Here they will be able to see the Dry Cleaning operation for themselves with longer opening hours until 10pm, 7 days per week, much easier parking, and the convenience of the other shops on Ecclesall Road (including Somerfield). I am sure that they will find the service as good as, if not better than that which they have been used to at Fulwood.
