Bringing readers up to date with what’s happening to businesses in/ around Dartmouth
UNDER NEW OWNERSHIP OR
MOVING OUT A quick check of the Daltonsbusiness website shows that most of the businesses listed for sale in our march issue are still seeking a new owner. If you’re reading this as a summer visitor to Dartmouth and fancy a new life down here, then check them out. We notice that a For Sale sign has appeared in the window of Kingswear Bears by the Lower Ferry slipway. We’re not sure if they’re moving on or shutting up but the shop lease is now for sale. We report elsewhere (page 135) that Dart Sails & Covers has moved from the end of Foss street to bigger premises in Townstal (the old eltek unit). They join new neighbours ShawStephens who produce high end furniture and cabinet making that is ‘to die for’. We hope to persuade them to run a feature in a future issue of by The Dart – meanwhile check out their website at
www.shawstephens. com Dart sails’ old neighbours in Foss street, Hollis Rigging, moved on earlier this year to operate out of Noss marina and a new owner has bought the whole of the va- cated building. Watch this space for news about how this site will be redeveloped. The Singing Kettle in Smith Street has been under new ownership by peter and Angie Lesbirel since 1st June - they offer a new menu with gluten free alternatives.
Other News As readers will be aware, by The Dart
moved out of its Dartmouth offices (Hauley road) in late 2016 into our new home office in Kingswear. The Cove has now occupied our old offices - this is part of their expansion in opening two new treatment rooms upstairs (more pedicure stations and space for new treatments they will soon introduce.)
NEW TO TOWN
since we last reported in march, a number of new businesses have opened in town – obviously, Costa Coffee has now been trading for a few months and on visual inspection seems pretty popular. Piestro – ‘Devon wrapped in a pie!’ opened just 6-8 weeks ago and the owners report that so far business has been good. see page 56 for their current opening times. Dartmouth Flooring Company moved into the unit vacated by Flowersmiths in Anzac street. DFC sells mostly wooden flooring. The Dartmouth Beauty Studio has been open for a couple of months in the Old market square. The owner is “is an experienced beautician and make up artist offering microblading which is a semi-permanent make up for eyebrows and eye liner.”
Dart Valley Homes is a long established family-owned
holiday lettings agency that until this summer was run from a home office. As part of their expansion they have opened a new office on the corner of market street and union street – see page 114 for more information. Open for just a few weeks now is the new Jack Wills shop occupying the old Lloyds bank building on The Quay. It’s likely to prove to be a popular retail destination – Jack Wills has over 90 shops globally. Check out their novel ‘conversion’ of the old bank vault. The new Rowcroft Shop on Lower street is helping to redefine what a charity shop should look like – we reported on this in our July issue. plugprints’ old unit in Foss street has been occupied by a new business called Marine Xped. We are not sure what the new shop will contain but the business offers various ‘fast & leisurely‘ boat trips by rib in start bay and along the Dart, as well as leadership development courses, ‘Commando” courses (!) and courses helping you prepare for careers in the armed forces, police, fire brigade etc – check their website - www.

And finally, just a short ferry trip to Kingswear is the new summer showcase for Sunseeker Yachts and HR Owen Ecurie that has popped up on the ground floor of the new royal Dart development – see page123 for details. Never have so many supercars been seen in Dartmouth!
