Michael Quinn, who owns a Mace shop on Castle Street, was part of the latter group and he cites the period as the greatest challenge he has faced during his almost year career in business. Despite this, however, Michael is optimistic that the future is bright for both his chain of Mace and Centra stores and Belfast in general.
He had no great burning ambition to go into business — rather he spotted a job vacancy in a newspaper for a trainee manager role at a supermarket close to his home in Ballynahinch, Co Down. He worked in a number of roles, learning the trade and gaining experience, before an opportunity came up to take a job helping to run a number of Mace shops.
After about five years, Michael became a partner in the franchise and when his colleague decided he wanted to step back in , he made the decision to buy a number of the shops. With such a lengthy career in retail, it is little wonder that Michael has seen a massive shift in the behaviour of customers over the years. There are now so many hotels and we would see a lot of people coming in and asking do we sell razors or shaving foam, or whatever else they have forgotten to bring with them.
