Hey Guys,

I posted on here earlier in the year about a new snowboard shop I was setting up in Newcastle Upon Tyne. Cheers to everyone who took the time to fill in the questionnaires.

I am happy to let you all know that it is definitely going ahead and will hopefully be opening by the end of September.

The shop address is 8 Monk Street, Newcastle Upon Tyne, NE1 5XD and is located right behind The Gate and Tiger Tiger.

The online shop will be launching around the same time at www.cabfive.co.uk

If anyone wants any more info then just send me a message or reply to this thread and I will do my best to get back to you quickly.

Hopefully see some of you soon!

Cheers.
James - Cab Five.

Good stuff!

Who let you know about the shop out of interest?

Be sure to keep checking the website around opening time to see what products we are stocking.

Stuff will be coming in all through September and early October.

Cheers.

Ah! I remember filling in that survey!

Nice one mate. Good location too... I think there are a few skate/bmx stylee shops round there if I remember rightly. Hopefully you already have the right sort of people walking past your doors!

I'll give it a look next time I'm back up North.

Looking forward to seeing your name here too! Wink

Just to keep you all updated, it looks like the shop will be opening on the 17th of September.

There is a possibility the date could change and I will let you know if this happens, but providing enough stock is in by then I can't see there being any problems.

Cheers.

Looks like we are going to have to move the opening back to Friday 24th Sept.
A few of our deliveries should be coming in that week and we want to open with a decent amount of stock.

We will be getting stuff in until mid-October but we should have a good selection by the 24th.

Sorry about all the changes! Hopefully this date will not change now.

Cheers.

Board-wise we are getting in Rome, Forum, Capita, StepChild, Endeavor and APO with the possibility of getting Lib Tech and GNU.

The main two brands for bindings are Union and Flux with a few models from Rome and Forum.

We are getting a really nice range of boots from Deeluxe and again we will have a few from some of our other brands.

Outerwear will mainly be Eleven, Special Blend and Foursquare with a few items from some hardware brands too.
We are getting street wear from Volcom along with bits from most of the brands we are stocking.

Oh and we are getting Dragon and Electric goggles and some awesome thermals from amel!

If you want any more info, just ask Smile

Cheers.

Hey there,

Unfortunately I'm not looking to hire any staff in the near future. I have been contacted by a few people interested in a job and whilst I can't offer anything at the minute, I'm hoping the shop will be successful enough to look into this further down the line (probably part-time, weekend work).

All I can say is that if you make yourself known and visit the shop regularly, then you will definitely be considered if the need to take on staff comes about.

Hopefully see you soon Smile

Hey guys,

We are having some delays with stock from a few big brands and looks like it won't be getting here by the 24th.
It should be in by the end of September but there's no point in me giving exact dates anymore in case it gets pushed back again! I will let you know the day it arrives and schedule an opening date for a few days later.

I will still be in the shop every Monday to Saturday from the 24th onwards so if anyone wants to pop in anyway, see the shop and have a chat you're more than welcome.

Sorry about the continual pushing back of the date but there really isn't much point in opening when I'm missing key items.

Hopefully the next update will be better news!

Cheers,
James - Cab Five

Is this ever going to open?

CabFive - Sep 18, 2010 - 11:21 AM
Post subject:

Yes we will be opening. I just think it would be best to wait until I have at least a bit of everything so people aren't disappointed if they travel down on the opening day/week.

I am waiting on a couple of orders from a few brands and then there will be enough stock to start us off.
The orders are expected to come into the UK in the next week or two.

Believe me, I want to open more than anyone!

Hey everyone,

Good news! We are opening next Friday, October 1st and this time it won't be pushed back. Very Happy

We have had a few boots come in now and we will have a reasonable amount of stock to open with.

We are getting our Union bindings order in the first week of October and lots more of everything else all through next month so don't worry, more stock will be coming in.

Opening times are:
Mon-Fri 10am - 5.30pm
Sat 9am - 5.30pm

Hope to see some of you soon!

Cheers.
