:confused::confused::confused::confused::confused: :confused: the thread title is Tesco Nelson, obviously you've forgotten to take your meds again this morning naughty little boy:rolleyes:

Re: Tesco Nelson
 

Bee, if you "spot" a store and write it down in your Shop Spotters book, what happens if it closes down? Does it not count anymore? Do you have to cross it out with your special blue crayon? Does "Shop Spotters Monthly" not issue lists of closed shops? Maybe you could look through your back copies?

Re: Tesco Nelson
 

It wasn't a Tesco (on Union St)

Re: Tesco Nelson
 

Margaret there was a tesco on Union Street at one time, it was the first shop as you enter Union Street from Broadway on your left hand side

Re: Tesco Nelson
 

I didn't recall that one - maybe because I never went in it.

Re: Tesco Nelson
 

Nelson Tesco has shut down like everything else in Nelson

Re: Tesco Nelson

Re: Tesco Nelson

Re: Tesco Nelson
 

At one time there were 2 Tescos on Union St.

Re: Tesco Nelson
 

:eek::eek::eek::eek:I hope Bee doesn't see that Beni:D

Re: Tesco Nelson
 

Think It's a Bee & M now.:hehetable

Re: Tesco Nelson

Re: Tesco Nelson
 

I don't remember a Tesco but did once or twice assist my wife shopping at the Kwik Save one on Union street.

Re: Tesco Nelson
 

Oh no! Everyone's at it now...shop spotting! Bee has got a lot to answer for!

Re: Tesco Nelson
 

There's already a blackout

Re: Tesco Nelson
 

Now they are trying to regenerate Nelson by putting the road back through the Centre over twenty years after they took it out:confused:

Unfortunately in terms of shopping it is the poor relation to the rest of Pendle

Re: Tesco Nelson
 

It was definately a tesco next to the olympus, my mates hubby used to have that cafe, i worked there for years, it was also kwik save and victor value

Re: Tesco Nelson
 

Whoops!, Got the thread title wrong!!!,

There were 2 Kwik Saves in Accrington, one where Peacocks is now, and one where B&M Bargains is now.

Re: Tesco Nelson
 

There was a Tesco on Union Street, shown here;

YouTube - Accrington Town Centre in the mid 1990's

Re: Tesco Nelson
 

Also the other Kwik Save is shown on that video.

Re: Tesco Nelson
 

Is this your fetish going round videoing Shops:rolleyes:

Re: Tesco Nelson
 

No jaysay,

So, when did the Tesco on Union Street close down???.

Re: Tesco Nelson
 

a long time ago

Re: Tesco Nelson
 

Er this is Accyweb not Nelsonweb and i don't pass Nelson on the way to the Railway pub very often so no idea when it closed

Re: Tesco Nelson
 

Your sure wound know if you passed it on the way home mick:D:D

Re: Tesco Nelson
 

No Mick I mean Acrrington old Tesco.

Re: Tesco Nelson
 

Keep up the shop investigations Bee. I can tell people are starting to warm to you :smoky:

Re: Tesco Nelson
 

Ya mean this type of warmth :dflam::dflam::dflam::D

Re: Tesco Nelson
 

If you look on his youtube site, one of his most wanted muppets clips is "Ernie and Bert Go Shopping." You really couldn't make it up. :rolleyes:

Re: Tesco Nelson
 

They are no doubt Bee's heros Wyn:D

Re: Tesco Nelson
 

No, Jay, Cookie Monster's his hero. He's number one on his muppets episode wants list!

Re: Tesco Nelson
 

i think its a big attempted wind up, orchestrated by one who should know better.:rolleyes:

Re: Tesco Nelson
 

Rapidly coming to the same conclusion. :rolleyes:

Re: Tesco Nelson
 

There's quite a few people are coming to that conclusion Wyn:rolleyes:

Re: Tesco Nelson
 

Surely, if it was an existing member who had started a new account, the moderators would have jumped on them by now, as I thought that was strictly against the rules and punishable by a ban? :confused:

Re: Tesco Nelson
 

maybe it would have to be a self imposed one?

Re: Tesco Nelson
 

Surely not! I can't believe that the moderators would create rules, then not abide by them!

Re: Tesco Nelson
 

well it is a bit far fetched i know.:rolleyes:

Re: Tesco Nelson
 

Can't believe that a man of the world like your good self, can be so green:D

Re: Tesco Nelson
 

No, still can't believe it. IF (and I emphasise the IF) it's true that a moderator has created a second account, then maybe there's been a change of rules and we're all allowed to do it?

Re: Tesco Nelson
 

yep..but where is Nelson? and was there a Tesco or Weatherspoons int'u area?.. I doubt we will ever know... only time can tell.. and thanks to the 24 hours drinking laws brought in by Labour ..I can't tell you to nowt untill I meet my mate.. and he knows everything!

Re: Tesco Nelson
 

Nelson tesco wasn't making enough and shut down, some staff moved to the accy one :) my sister in law worked there. In nelson your better off going to the butchers and marias cash and carry, cheaper and better quality lol

Re: Tesco Nelson
 

A man told me last week that his grandson had got an application form for a job at B&Q . He asked him why he was getting a job in Blackburn . The grandson replied that it was for B&Q in Accy . They were buying the Tesco when it closed down .

I took the story with a pinch of salt , and when I saw this man again I asked him why it hadn't been in the Press . He replied that the jobs were not advertised , but the grandson got the form from the Job Centre . :confused:

Re: Tesco Nelson
 

If thats the case,looks like i will be returning to Blackburn fer me main shop. am amazed Tesco aint giving it time to consolidate trade if its so.:confused:

Re: Tesco Nelson
 

They've fought off all opposition to open a new Tesco in Padiham, even though there is a big Tesco Extra in Burnley. In Rossendale there is Tesco Rawtenstall and another literally 1 mile up the road in Haslingden.

So I was a bit skeptical that they would close Accy Tesco. Even if it loses £60k per week (as rumoured-I'm not saying it's true), that is nothing to Tesco. £1 in every £7 spent in the UK is spent at Tesco. They could hide that loss simply by delaying payment to suppliers by about 3 minutes. They would rather stay open at a loss than allow their competitors to step in.

However if they have really closed Nelson Tesco, I guess that shows that it can happen. (I bet the reason is, they're planning to open an even bigger store at Colne to compete with the new Sainsbury's there :)

Anyhow, I went for the first time last weekend. The massive car park was half full and it was pretty busy inside. Not dead like some would have you believe.

Re: Tesco Nelson
 

So.....has B&Q bought Tesco Extra Accy..or is it just a rumour???.

Re: Tesco Nelson
 

I think you just contradicted yourself. It was weekend and a half full car park. Try Asda and see what thats like at weekend :)

Re: Tesco Nelson
 

You missed out the "massive" in the car park. It was quite late on Saturday and I bet there were as many cars on it as Asda at that time.

You've just reminded me there is a positive to Tesco versus Asda in Accy: Asda car park can be a nightmare to get in and out of. Also you end up driving about a mile in circles to get on it. Tesco is a lot easier AND it is sheltered from Accy weather !

Having said that, Tesco is of course too big. They are taking over the country. This is an aspect of them I don't like, and I'd still be surprised if they closed the Accy store, even if it is losing money.

Re: Tesco Nelson
 

Was the old Tesco (Accrington) any big?.

Re: Tesco Nelson
 

Any big what:confused::confused:

Re: Tesco Nelson
 

Deal?

Or no deal?

:D

Re: Tesco Nelson
 

Loss? Maybe...but a cool £1million, got them back:do-one:

Re: Tesco Nelson
 

no deal, I'm gona open the box:D

Re: Tesco Nelson
 

It is not your size;) Sorry but you will have to wait:p

Re: Tesco Nelson
 

Time and Tide wait for no man ;)

Re: Tesco Nelson
 

So long as you don't go in the sea(bath with the salts), with your watch on you will be alright.:D

Just remember to wind it up first;)

Re: Tesco Nelson
 

Thought thats what we've been doing with Bee:D

Re: Tesco Nelson
 

It makes you wonder that instead of spending loads of money on the Tesco Express and Extra in Accy they could have opened a Tesco Metro where the old Kwik Save was at the start of Union Street instead of that B&M Bargains?. It would been reaaaaaaaaally cheaper I think than the Extra and Express.

Re: Tesco Nelson
 

Do you mean Kwik Save?.

Re: Tesco Nelson
 

err no think Beni said Tesco;)

Re: Tesco Nelson
 

No jaysay I think he might have got confused with Tesco and Kwik Save.

Re: Tesco Nelson
 

was wondering that meself.:confused:

Re: Tesco Nelson
 

You're right:gooddog:

Nelson Tesco closed down in 2010 where the town's Kwik Save was.:o:o:enough::mad:

Second time they closed down in Nelson:rolleyes:, years ago they were in the Arndale Centre.

Shock as Tesco to close Nelson store (From Lancashire Telegraph)

Re: Tesco Nelson
 

I used to work in the Arndale Centre one, before leaving school and then afterwards full time. Happy days :)

Re: Tesco Nelson
 

Ah yes, the days when the balcony in the Arndale was actually open and had shops on it. Funnily enough Tesco wasn't even shown in the photo, it was round the corner to the right of that picture :)

Re: Tesco Nelson
