That's Entertainment Chester

Just thought I would let people know that the branch of That's Entertainment in Chester will be closing on 7 July 2013.

Apparently it was due to the landlord demands for more rent. Currently is was £65,000 a year and the landlord wanted £150,000.

This is not the first time that this has happened. There was a branch in Cheshire Oaks, again when it came for lease renewal, they demanded more, hence they moved to Chester.

No word when and if they will relocate to another premises in the Chester area.

What is the average rent for a shop in that area?

If Magpie were getting a good deal to move in and set-up with the understanding that the cheap rate won't last, than it shows what they are like.

I did a search on

look at 63-65 Foregate Street where That's Entertainment currently are you can see the landlord wants £150,000.

You can see the from the list the rent for stores in Chester, so there are many empty stores available, but if and where they will relocate to is anyone's guess
