Mobile Phone Shops in Dorking

With speculation over what might become of the retail outlet formerly Thomson Travel Agents a visitor on here has found out that it might become a Phones4U, which was a total suprise.

I remember a phone shop called One2Call (where Dorking Flowers now resides), it was a good shop and when it sadly closed we were left with only the one in St Martins Walk remaining. Hmmmm - That shop in St Martins Walk is strange, it has been there for quite a while now but I never think of going there, it seems somewhat invisible. A few years ago it was populated by a gang of blokes who were just hanging out in there, probably friends with some guy who worked there. It isn't like that anymore but I don't really remember seeing hardly anyone in there. I also remember another shop called KJC Phones (or something like that), somewhere around where Shrewd now is - that sort of came and went.

I was pleased when the Carphone Warehouse opened. It was quite nice and refreshing to see a major high street chain in Dorking. It seems to do a good amount of trade.

Phones4U - Judging by the amount of trade the Carphone Warehouse seems to be drawing in I suppose it makes sense for another well known brand to open a shop. At first I was suprised at the close proximity to the existing shop, but I suppose it is better for the consumer if shops like this are in close vicinity of each other and maybe the deals will be even cheaper.
