Re: TESCO - new site in Accrington.
 

I got a flyer through my door a couple of weeks ago, I think it was opening Wednesday 9th February so it will be open now. The company address on the leaflet was some where in the Birmingham area, too late to check now, the recycling van has been today.
Is the shop near Dixon's motorbike shop?

I will still do most of my buying in at Marks and Sparks. I have not even been tempted by the new Tesco crowd yet.

Re: TESCO - new site in Accrington.
 

It's reported that Tesco has built 13 new East Lancashire stores in ten years.

Tesco, the biggest retailer in Europe, has paid out £2.5million to local councils.

Including more than £1.5million for an Accrington town centre superstore, opened in 2010, and £260,000 for a proposed Great Harwood store, paid to Hyndburn Borough Council.

A bung by any other name.

Re: TESCO - new site in Accrington.
 

was in there today .. theres flags outside saying theyre taking asda vouchers ....:D

Re: TESCO - new site in Accrington.
 

I'll be in there soon.

Handing out flags, in exchange for loose change.

:o

Re: TESCO - new site in Accrington.
 

Asda were taking Tesco vouchers a couple of days after the Accy Tesco opened they were so frightened of losing trade.

Re: TESCO - new site in Accrington.
 

Shouldnt have worried though Tesco is crap. My recent vouchers ended last week so I am pleased to say I am off the ASDA this week for me shopping :D

Re: TESCO - new site in Accrington.
 

Called in Asda last Friday and it was heaving, so i assume Tesco are losing this fight.
Perhaps they should ask PB for their bung back. :D

Re: TESCO - new site in Accrington.
 

As much as I don't think they should have been granted planning permission for a town centre superstore, Tesco have offered us the opportunity to collect inside the store for the local Parkinson's support group. An opportunity not to be turned down.

So if you are in there, on Thurday 28th April, the day before Wills takes Kate up the fruit 'n' veg aisle, do please say hello.

We've been fully trained, and aren't actually allowed to shake our collection buckets, to encourage people to donate any loose change.

Talk about a challenge!

:D

Maybe if they tell you off you could ask them for an instant cure :)

Re: TESCO - new site in Accrington.
 

Cor blimey is this turning into a fight?... it's like rivalry between football fans .. would love to see the Asda supporters take on the Tesco mob in both carparks.. tooled up with trolly loads of value meals and special offers. :D

Re: TESCO - new site in Accrington.
 

The Aldi Crew would take 'em all out.

;)

Re: TESCO - new site in Accrington.
 

I drove past there last week, first time in months and was really impressed on how nice its all beginning to look. Not just Tesco but the whole area. Well done Accy nice one.

Re: TESCO - new site in Accrington.

Re: TESCO - new site in Accrington.
 

MargR will be pleased about this one!! ;)
Not so good for ASDA though

Re: TESCO - new site in Accrington.
 

Went into Asda yesterday - they do have the best "Free From" range of foodstuffs, very surprised.
Perhaps everyone wqas at home making pancakes because the car park was the emptiest I have seen it, yet last week Tesco's was fuller than I had seen. Realise that one day is not much to go on - but..........
Also commented on the untidyness of the shelves - open spaces, empty cartons on shelves and no-one apparently re-stocking or even tidying.
Has anyone else noticed anything similar?
