Olan Mills Back In Business!

Options
I tried to do a search but couldn't find anything on this, sooo,
Just got a phone call today from my local olan mills to say that they had been bought out by another comapny and as I had outstanding vouchers would I like to make new appointments as they are honouring all old customers who had bought deals etc. I had already thrown out my vouchers but she said this didn't matter as they still had my records anyway. Still in same location and most of the old staff back aswell. So all in all quite chuffed really! Hope this helps some others who thought they'd lost out, give your local branch a call! If this needs moving please do so as I couldn't think where to put it! Thanks Manda :D

    Norwich branch, she said that the whole company had been bought out so I assumed that meant all branches???? The website is still down so will keep an eye on that. My sister lives in surrey, her local branch (woking I think) is running again too. Maybe it will take a while for all branches to get started again as they did shut down totally.

    Just an update to say I had my photos done at the Norwich branch on Saturday, Brilliant photos and they did a deal on the cd we bought. I asked if all the branches were re-opening and the girls said, that some were some weren't and that as the 0845 numbers weren't working any more you'd have to wait to be contacted. Although she also said that you could ring them and they could give you a list of stores and their new numbers. I was asking on behalf of my sister so not sure if they'll like lots of calls from people but business is business, so if this helps some people thats good, their number is 01603 667613.
