These contrary to popular opinion are not good fronts for ML.
The connoisseurs of ML prefer hot food takeaway, 24 hour retail, pubs and night clubs because of the cash throughput. Sunbed shops for example simply do not deliver the levels of cash handling to sufficiently launder large amounts of cash most payments are debit/credit card. Sunbed shops are more likely to be what in brokerage circles is called a PEMS business. Similar examples of PEMS businesses are nail bars and dog grooming parlours.
PEMS stands for Preventing Extra Marital Shagging and is where the husband sets the wife up in business in a bid to stop her from bonking the personal trainer whilst he is out at work. I know a few contractors who have fallen into this trap.When freedom comes along, don't PISH in the water supply.....Comment

It seems they were also pheonixing and avoiding business rates. One has to wonder what part of their anatomy trading standards had up their rear end for the last 5 years.Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.Comment

Well it appears counterfeit goods is also part of the business model. What a surprise... not.

I didn't realise they sold phones and vapes so it all makes sense now. Same model as Cheetham Hill in Manc and other tat shops. Decent front but everything else dodgy as hell.
I did think being sweet shops there would be drugs involved but it isn't. Just your standard fakery tat shop.
