    I’ve been to this shop 4 times, 3 of the times the shop has closed with a hand written note on the door saying sorry we’re closed (the latest time was today 20/05/23). I checked the Fargo website in advance and there was no warning that the shop would be closed. The only time the shop was open I turned up at 11am (the advertised opening time) and the shop was closed but I luckily went into another shop and when I came out (about 20 minutes later) the paint rack had opened. The shop it’s self is ok, but don’t make any effort to to go there as in my experience the shop won’t be open
