Perth city centre traders could be heartened to see a new tenant for the closed Beales/McEwens department store building.
This week, the director of a property consultancy gave the PA a positive heads up that two companies were “strongly interested” in leasing the boarded-up retail premises, a keystone site close to St John’s Kirk that has the power to alter the fortunes of traders adjacent to it.
There appears to be a possibility of good news on the horizon following Alan Stewart, director of Glasgow-based Breck Sutherland Property Consultants, claiming he has two “strongly interested” parties, both hoping to take on the sleeping giant.
