Shoppers in Bulwell believe the upcoming opening of a new store shows "the sign of the times." The Cash Monkey, a pawnbrokers where second-hand goods can be traded, is due to open in Commercial Road, Bulwell.
Signs for a new shop popped up recently with residents curious as to what would be replacing the former Budget Wise store, which closed earlier this year. Following a series of high-profile closures in recent months, including the Bulwell Boots and a NatWest bank, shoppers have been crying out for more places to head to.
Some residents noted that the "miserable" cost of living crisis has had an impact on people in the town, with the opening of a pawnbrokers being a sign that people need quick cash fast - particularly with Christmas not far away.
