That was my thought , it's a shame the Grand isn't owned more a more prestigious chain who might like to develop the site but that said it's always going to be on top of the pier and not everyone wants to be that close to the noise and aromas of what's happening down below.
Probably best turn it in to a multi story car park!! Everyone would want to park on the top floor which would make a change!!

Adam Williams could step in and make an offer for it and incorporate it into his amusement arcade.     After all, half of the previous building was Tuscon's amusements and it was a good place to go to and all under cover too.

I think it was DaveR who said "be careful what you wish for"  to pay for it would require a lot of rides and amusements    &shake&

Indeed Ian, I fear for the future of that previously beautiful area.
As for the deterioration of the Pier itself.
That’s happening anyway, and the backlog is colossal and expensive.

That would be great news; we could look forward to a rebuilding of the original Pavilion building in its full Victorian splendour.  $good$

Hmmm. I've long thought the best fit for the pier would be an indoor theme park. It could easily be kept to the same size of the original but the cost of recreating the Victorian design would probably be prohibitive.

I think we all know, in that instance, there would be zero chance of that happening.

The deal is done! Let's hope the promises are kept.

Important announcement,
Tir Prince Leisure Group are delighted to announce that they have secured the purchase of the land at Llandudno Pier Pavilion following negotiations with the current owners. Given the close proximity to The Pier and the fact that until 1980 they were in the same ownership and formed part of the same parcel of land it was an easy and straightforward decision to make the purchase having had many worthwhile meetings with the Pavilion owner over the last few months.
Tir Prince Leisure Group hopes that the acquisition of this site will enable us to secure the long term future of Llandudno Pier and Llandudno as the jewel in the crown of North Wales tourism by enhancing and improving our current offering and ensuring that the site can continue to be enjoyed by many future generations. In many ways the hard work starts now but we are confident that we can do something extremely worthwhile with the site and further announcements will follow in due course.

Long-standing repairs to the pier structure and re-opening the Happy Valley gates for a start.
