Always been surprised that Leeds don`t have a city centre store, massive sales gone begging there. Wonder why that is.. |

To play devil's advocate, these shops pretty much have a monopoly on their loyal but niche customer base. Like a lot of retailers they'll now be making a fair proportion of their sales online, I suspect.
The move towards online shopping will have depressed rents, I guess, but maybe also city centre footfall. And there'll certainly still be cheaper options; when you consider that stuff like mugs and key-rings must have pretty low margins, that could be crucial.
Shirt launch and Christmas will be the big money spinners, and you could maybe cater for those with a pop-up?
City centre is maybe more about profile than (direct) profits? |

Brilliant effort by the club to sell so many shirts so early. Timely boost ahead of the season.

Haven't they still got a shop in the St John's centre? It's quite well placed, really. No less so than Saville Street, I'd say.
Incidentally, the FC polo shirt that Santa brought me this year is a really decent shirt, really well made in my opinion. Should last a while! |

Took a mate of mine to get a Rhino`s shirt last saturday and rang the club to see if they had a centre store and they told me they had`nt got one. |

Maybe that's why the rovers' city centre shop appears to be available to rent? |

No Jake, its because their 20,000 fans have turned up and bought all the stock. They sure know how to shift sh*t. |

They want someone to take over their lease in Savile Street another year to run I believe.

There was a quote (or possibly a question in a fan survey) that suggested that it wasn't doing much/any more trade than the previous Holderness road store, so it's no surprise. I guess it could be in part because times have got tougher since the move, masking any benefit.
I wonder how much merchandise is worth to clubs - it usually seems to be expressed in terms of revenue rather than profit. Any ideas on what the profit per shirt is, roughly?
I shall do some internet research...
Edit: A report from 2011 has replica football shirts reaching retailers at £14 and being sold on for at least £35.
So roughly £25 quid on a club RL shirt gross profit nowadays, maybe. |

Great business then particularly if you can shift volume.

If you look at the first 3 pages of the above though, it's clear that rents drop off significantly once you leave the city centre and go on to Holderness or Anlaby roads. Easily enough to cover the loss of, say, 500 shirt sales and, for example, cover an additional 6 week pop-up in Princes Quay in the run up to Christmas.
Some Rovers fans have, over the last few years, complained that the failings of our retail arm cost the club lots of money. I've always felt the scale is likely overstated. Because...
1. It's probably a bit of frustration displacement, IMO - making a big noise because you're dissatisfied might seem a bit whiney (which it shouldn't if you've had problems) but if you're just thinking of the club then it is more acceptable suggest it is a big deal.
2. I don't much care for shopping, and in fairness maybe tend to underestimate or forget how much others do like it and therefore it's value to the club. The mark-up on shirts reported in the article I read was a little higher than I expected.
I've always thought the way to go for merchandise for Rovers (or most SL clubs) is focused with a fairly narrow range of goods and with low overheads. Less potential for it to go wrong that way too! The big plus of a city centre shop is maybe the intangible of what it adds to the club's image and profile. Leeds and Wigan don't share their city/town with a direct rival, of course. And they're forever winning stuff, which no doubt diminishes their need in that area. |
