The Boredroom on the struggle for Manx retail businesses

Manx Newscast

Douglas clothing store The Boredroom is asking people on the Island to fill out a questionnaire to help it understand 'what's going on in terms of retail' here.

In a post on social media the Strand Street store says 'retail is hard over here and it's getting harder to keep the doors open, especially with the increase in cost for everything'.

It adds 'it's increasingly feeling like we're climbing a steep hill that is only getting higher the further we go up.'

In this episode of Newscast, Lewis Foster heads down to The Boredroom to speak with owner, Laurence Crookall.
