sorry but i think that shop sells such crap!!!:D

Re: ex homebargin store....

Re: ex homebargin store....
 

Oh dear, so that corner one gonna close

Wonder what that gonna be now then

Charity shop, pound shop, charity shop, pound shop lol

Re: ex homebargin store....
 

well they cant be expanding if they are moving into a smaller shop can they? they have two floors in the other one surely the two floors put together are bigger than the one floor?


unlesssssssssssssss they are taking over the works too and having all three shops? Accy is getting worse by the minute, cant people petition to stop crap like that?

Re: ex homebargin store....
 

I do buy things there sometimes. I bought some straws not long ago.

Re: ex homebargin store....
 

they say the shop thy have now is no good for disabled people, with it having steps that's way thy moving so it will all be on one floor.
lets guess what the corner shop going to be, ill say a phone shop:p

Re: ex homebargin store....
 

Why not knockdown Accy, and join Blackburn ?

Blackburn = a city then and a better standard of living overall. :D

Re: ex homebargin store....
 

Or knock down Blackburn! :D

Re: ex homebargin store....
 

yeah!!

Lets all live in blackrington :D:D
or accringburn.....

hmm.... both could be slightly rude.... i like it :D:D

Re: ex homebargin store....
 

I have heard on the old retail grapevine about another Arndale store closing in the next couple of weeks; can't say much more till it's confirmed but will say fashion clothing , that narrows it down a bit !:rolleyes:

Re: ex homebargin store....
 

Bye bye Floral Market Town banners.

Hello Pound Shop Town ones.

By the way H.B.C., you can save money on the new banners, they have them in the pound shop.:D

Re: ex homebargin store....
 

Im presuming its gonna be poundworld because the desks/shelves they were installing had 'poundworld' written on em on the wrapping...:rolleyes:.......unless they bought em from poundworld for a quid....:D...lol;)

Re: ex homebargin store....
 

Now thats more like it, they should have let the IRA pactice demolition on it. The only good thing about Crapburn (blackburn) is the road out of the place, I avoid it like the plague.
Retlaw.

Re: ex homebargin store....
 

I don't think the people who were killed and maimed by terrorists, would be in favour of bombing as an exercise in town planning.:mad:

Re: ex homebargin store....
 

come on lindsay you cant leave us all in the dark,tell all:alright:

Re: ex homebargin store....
 

Accrington and its charity / pound shops really doesn't appeal to me, I feel sorry for the odd decent shop that must struggle to attract custom.

Re: ex homebargin store....
 

choice of mk1 and that other one...................erm, new look?
cant mean ethels cos she said fashion lol

Re: ex homebargin store....
 

I noticed today that burtons have stuck some stuff in the shop where the old photo shop was, are they moving in that one?

I also see a exchange bureau as opened up too:rolleyes:

why oh why do they keep opening rubbish shops in accy?:rolleyes:

Re: ex homebargin store....
 

Re: ex homebargin store....
 

oh yeah burtons, lol.... forgot about them... they have spread themselves out into the old photo place so prob not them ......

could be adams i suppose

Re: ex homebargin store....
 

Mk1??

Re: ex homebargin store....
 

:confused: So they won't be using the upstairs in the new shop? why not just close the upstairs section in the one there in now, save them moving

Re: ex homebargin store....
 

So I heard, I hope it's not the case but apparently they are in administration and the lease is up on the unit.

Re: ex homebargin store....
 

They were sold to new owners on 2nd May and went in to administration on 22nd May

Re: ex homebargin store....
 

We don't buy that much in town anymore, apart from fresh veg and birthday cards, we tend to go out of town for everything else.

There's just nowhere decent anymore. I wonder what will open in the corner one once it's moved?

Re: ex homebargin store....
 

well ya won't need 3 guesses.:D:rolleyes:

Re: ex homebargin store....
 

thats exactly what we do, we go to Manchester or Preston for Reece's clothes and to do other bits of shopping, theres nothing in Accy and Blackburn anymore,well not until they find a builder to build this new Mall in Blackburn anyway

Re: ex homebargin store....
 

Re: ex homebargin store....
 

It has been years since ive been in that poundshop, i CANNOT get round it with my double buggy. The aisle are quite narrow and they always have displays sat in the middle of the aisles making it impossible to get round it. A lot of shops are the same, they seem to forget about us with double buggy's, wheelchairs, mobility scooters etc, they are a complete nightmare

Re: ex homebargin store....
 

The new shop will either be - an opticians, a card shop, a bakery i.e greggs etc. Of course thats if its not a pound shop.

Re: ex homebargin store....
 

i don't go in to town if i can help it been to day just to you know ware
yes the pound shop, just for some plasters and battery's that's it
all my shopping i go well out of town. i don't think there is a lot of people can say that they do all there shopping in accrington.:p
shop on the corner well any ones guess what that will be.:D

Re: ex homebargin store....
 

I do all my shopping in accy... in fact i barely leave accy!

Re: ex homebargin store....
 

Theres only one good thing pound shops are good for and thats shampoo!
cuz it usually cost nearly £2 in asda a bottle for the one i get, but in there they are a pound, but sometimes if i go to wilkies you can get it ..BOGOF so that works out cheaper still...so it pays to shop around:D

Other than that, accy is.......poo!
poo shops and poo toilets and poo seating:(

Re: ex homebargin store....
 

We get coffee from there at the moment. They have Nescafe Brazilia at £1 for a 100g jar. It's not that different from normal Nescafe if you're not an expert and a 300g jar of Nescafe at Asda is a fiver, effectively we get nearly double for the same price :)

Re: ex homebargin store....
 

Yep, Manchester for us all the time too............it really is a shame:(

Re: ex homebargin store....
 

don't do much shopping in Accy now... because of lack of shops: I have even given up on the Market Web Site... there is far too much apathy: its such a shame Accy used to be a town that was just that little bit different now its total rubbish:
But I guess others will also say the same about the their own towns the grass is greener and all that....

Re: ex homebargin store....
 

even some of the stalls in the market hall are shutting down...the cheese stall moved now thats shut down as has the pie and cake shop that used to be next to it

Re: ex homebargin store....
 

this town is becoming like a ghost town ahhhhhhhhhh

Re: ex homebargin store....
 

From what I read in the paper last week they aren't going to let new tenants in until the work has been done so they can move exisiting tenants about. Looks like it's going to be half empty for a while.

Re: ex homebargin store....
 

That is such a shame. :(

Re: ex homebargin store....
 

ah well................................








:Dsorry:D

Re: ex homebargin store....
 

blackburn dosnt deserve to be a city and i certainly dont want my town merging with blackburn just to accomodate them

this argument has been going on for years and can easily be solved by demoloshing the cathederal

blackburns more of a dump than accy :rolleyes:

Re: ex homebargin store....
 

just what is the actual definition of a city ? :confused: :confused:
yep I know its a thread wander .

Re: ex homebargin store....
 

I said in another thread that, part of the reason this country is in a mess is down to pure greed, yet people dont shop around for cheaper groceries, that is down to lack of time and laziness, if everybody shopped in town for a couple of weeks, asda would'nt drop the prices because of the lack of business, they would close it down because of the lack of profit, businesses like asda dont just have to be profitable, they have targets and have to make a certain amount of profit, same with most of the big shops, that is why there are very few big name stores here, places like Bury are losing them too because of supermarkets and shopper apathy.

Re: ex homebargin store....
 

It used to be that you could only be a City if you had a cathedral, that has changed since the Queen could declare a Town with City status and Blackburn although having a Catherdral is still not a city

Re: ex homebargin store....
 

I recently have started doing bits of my shopping in town, I do my main shopping at asda noramlly but through wandering round town have found some items to be cheaper, and although the town may be pants for shopping ive still managed to save a few pennies

Re: ex homebargin store....
 

Mk1 went into administration, the woman who used to own the company is our new buyer, they are closing 100 shops (mk1) and the one in accy could be at risk, mind u there is hardly anyone in accy anymore so im not surprised.
I felt sorry for the workers at Sayers when that went into administration, without notice at all they closed the shop and they didnt get paid for the last week of work.
Im scared that one day im gonna go to work and the shop is closed as well, although my boss reassures me that we are ok i cant help but being a bit paranoid.
