Thistle & Shamrock in Denver - going out of business

[pastorsteve]

This is the store downtown near the Brown Palace. I think so. At least it used to be.

I'm not sure where the "Thistle' used to be, if anywhere, but it is/was for the past 8 years that I know at I25 & Belleview Ave - the last major road in the southern tip of Denver.

Yes it used to be downtown, then the rent went way up so out to DTC for them.

I used to go there and chat up the gentleman that worked there ( it's been a few years so I dont remember his name) HE was always friendly and helpful. never had a problem with me chatting and browsing.

thats too bad that its closing down

....you are thinking of a different store. I also went on Sunday and I did not realize that everything was 40% off. Nor did a single store worker deign to speak with me, my wife, or my son. Had an employee perchance thought to speak with us, we would likely have purchased a kilt outfit for our son, who is 2. They might have made around $100 off us for just a few words of kindness or even acknowledgment that we existed.


.....I stand by what I said before about that store. There are just too many NICE vendors out there to give any business to the not-nice ones.

While I was there there were signs all over the store stating Clearance Sale. The owners did not make any advances on any customers but I don't find that offensive, just not very savvy. I would never wish someone ill or trouble simply because they lack social acumen. I would rather wish, for them, that they gain interpersonal social skills so that their business grows. Especially since this means that locally (Denver area) we have one less Scottish store in which to shop. In fact I believe we now have none.
