Best answers:

  • Do we know what will become of the empty stores?
    I see most are corner shop/Expresses but there is a fair few mega-shops in there. Presumably they'll not sell to a competitor and so could be turned into much needed housing perhaps?
  • Not heard of most of those places. I'm all right Jack.
  • They losing the homestore close to me. I have probably only bought anything there maybe three times. I do go to the Costa Coffee in there though.
    As they have 2 large stores (one 24 hour) within probably a mile of the homestore I am not that surprised.
  • I see a couple are in Sheffield, and there arent that many Tesco's there to begin with. Interesting as the cities retailers dont appear to be doing well all over, but my bro works for Iceland there and they are expanding.

  • The main one in my local shopping centre is on that list which surprises me as it always looks very busy. I don't shop there though, to expensive!
  • its funny when they get cocky and wont put the prices down..then the next thing people stop going....
    dur
    its the same with aa insurance.. I got a renewal for building and contents ,quoted at 181 pounds...went on go compare and getting quote for 110 pounds. I asked aa to reduce..they said they only can knock 40 off so i said bye... Its strange ?
  • Houghton Regis is my local little Tesco, there's a huge Morrisons over the road from it so I don't see that many people being bothered tbh.
