Soon, "Bally" in "PASSAGE" store!
 
Please give the context in which you want to use this apparently random sequence of unconnected words.

We want to have an announcement, the content of which is the following:
We 'll soon represent "BALLY" (brand) in "Passage" store
 
plzzzzz answer, it is very important. Thx in advance
 
Bally will soon be available/on sale in Passage.
 
Thanks a lot! Are there any versions which can be correct to express the same idea?

Please don't get impatient a mere half an hour after the last response. The people who answer your questions are volunteers, working in what little free time they have.

As this is forum for pepole interested in correct English, please avoid chatlish - [STRIKE]plzzzzz[/STRIKE] Please, [STRIKE]Thx[/STRIKE] Thanks.

[not a teacher]

Are you asking if there are multiple ways of saying the same thing? or
Did you mean to question if their suggestion was the only correct way to say it?
:shock:
 
While I usually try not to use "always" or "never" when describing English, I feel safe saying there are always multiples ways to express the same thought.

Passage is excited to announce that it will soon carry the Bally line of products!
Coming soon to Passage: The Bally line!

Or the one you got a few posts above this one.
 
Thanks a lot. Can we simply write Coming soon to Passage: "Bally"!!!
Or is it important to write the "Bally" line?

That's OK if you think the readers will know what "Bally" is. I don't.
 
And only one ! not three.

. . . and please note, Tatev Avagyan, that you would have got quicker answers if you had given the context in post #1 rather than #4.

Bally is a worldwide known brand of shoes and clothing
 
To me, it's an archaic swear word which is now said "bloody".
 
You surprise me, ems.

My wife's been talking about Bally shoes since the late 50s.

They're not cheap.

As long as she's only been talking about them, there is no problem. If she starts talking about buying them, then consider divorce. It's probably cheaper,

Ah, that explains it. I buy my shoes from Matalan and Brantano. Never paid more than £30 for a pair of shoes in my life!
