A Happy Halloween from us here at Cronin's.
It's a weird one for us this year. First year we haven't done the big spooky window or celebrated in store or in the centre. In fact it's so rubbish I'm working tonight at my regular job! But we still have plenty to celebrate.
There's still time to enter the Wednesday giveaway. Grab yourself a FREE living dead doll Wednesday. Or you can grab a 1:1 scale Chucky at a major discount. Or if you fancy, we have plenty of horror themed items on our website and Etsy!

Another pointless article about the parking charges and delayed tram works in Dudley. And yet more excuses and nonsense from Patrick Harley. We know it doesn't really affect us anymore but it still angers us knowing that a town we were once proud to have our shop in is getting worse and worse.
As some of you know I've had to join the enemy and I got a job over in Merry Hill, where the tram works have recently started over there and the footfall has already started to drop. So, yes, we can blame parking charges to a point but Merry Hill is also beginning to suffer even with the free parking.
Patrick Harley passes the buck with the tram, saying it wasn't a Dudley Council project but someone had to green light it and it's wrecking the towns in the process.

Dudley has had a challenging 12-months after parking charges were introduced residents say.
