Yes I guess it will miss some passing trade now - it’s only about 5 minutes walk from the old one but few people will walk past it on the way home.
Will have to see how it does, it might be closer walking wise to more people - hopefully it will be good for Shannon’s also.
The new Co-Op is on the same side of the tracks as the old one just a few minutes further on! And from my first visit at the weekend it seems to have a wider range of items.
They kept that under their hat! I did wonder when it was closed last night!! When did the new one open do you know?
News Shopper reveals all!
Yep, that was already reported in this topic, about the new site: Former Maplin / Fashion Clearance building [Now a Co-op]
Still it’s very nice the Co-op had stayed local and that the staff presumably were able to transfer their jobs.
Yes, can confirm that all the lovely helpful staff have transferred to the new shop. The new store is bigger, has more products and easy to move around
Hi folks, just wondering if anyone has any info on when this hotel is likely to be built? It’s been a pile of rubble for quite a long time now…
I’ve been wondering the same as there’s no activity on the site, and other building sites are operational. I expect the plans may possibly be on hold as there may not be the demand for the hotel any more?
Travelodge have recently reconfirmed plans for a hotel in Forest Hill, so assume this is still the site and the pause will be un-paused:
Thanks so much for sharing!
