Depends on how many in the existing town centre will lose their jobs.
Don't get me wrong, I shop at Tesco but it isn't what Accy needs right now. The established retailers are dying on their feet now, it will finish loads of them off,I know it's healthy to have competition but not when they can undercut you to the extent that tesco can because of their huge buying power, if I had to take a guess I would say it will finish off WH Smith, Iceland,New Look, poss Woolies and poss even Boots because they will take a huge share of the market and no doubt open a 100 hour pharmacy.
