Apparently the Co-op just lease the space, the new part will also be available to rent.

Shame really. When it first opened as Gateway, then Somerfield, it was a proper little supermarket, now it'll just be convienence store.

Re: Oswaldtwistle Shops
I don't think it was Somerfield - wasn't it Kwik Save?

But yes, Garinda I take your point, it's just going to be another little shop now.

No, it was definitely Somerfield's.

You know I'm never wrong....or will at least never admit to it, though I'm right in this case.

We are right, it was defo Somerfield's.

As a keen recycler I've still got the carrier bags to prove it.

I thought it was Somerfield too, Garinda.

Although I am surprised to hear that the co-op is being halved, it only confirms my suspicions that Oswaldtwistle could not have supported a Tesco had those plans gone ahead.

It's been both Gateway and Somerfield's before it was the Co-op, or Kwop, as it's known in Ossy.

You can tell your a once a week girl in the car.

Tell them you bought some spuds and you think they've gone bad, and want your money back.

Re: Oswaldtwistle Shops
I'll have you know that i shop locally more than anything else. It mustn't have been Somerfield for many years - I definitely remember Gateway and i retract the Kwik Save.

As for once in a week in a car, how do you know have you been watching?
