new supermarket?
 

hey up theres talks of building a new supermarket on eagle street where old council offices where! could be a tesco, sainburys or morrisons:p asda will have competition:rolleyes: which one should they do??

Re: new supermarket?
 

Wheres the option of 'None, stop destroying our once good market' :p

Re: new supermarket?
 

Personally, I'm not fussed which plavour of supermarket we get, just so long as Asda gets some stiff competition. Maybe then it will get it's act together, instead of the complacent arrogance that pervades.

Can we also have a petrol station built on the site please? If only to give the few remaining petrol outlets in Accy a boot up the arse.

Re: new supermarket?
 

Looks like we will be able to shop from the bedroom window, as long as the traffic, parking, noise etc is adressed correctly I have no objections to the new development, it's high time this site was used in a more productive manner.

Re: new supermarket?
 

i,m with cyfr all the way, NONE should have been an option.

Re: new supermarket?
 

well im sorry its the first time i done a poll and forgot to put it in!! i cant change it can !?:D

Re: new supermarket?
 

Can't see Tesco doing anything, they have just opened up the Tesco Express place near the police station

Re: new supermarket?
 

Obviously you don't don't have a full time job and family. You can't shop on the market at 11pm after work or get everything you need in one place and be able to park the car outside.

Supermarkets are the death of town center markets, its a fact and you won't change it. If there was no Asda in Accrington people would just go to Blackburn.

Re: new supermarket?
 

Sad but True... that said where you can please support your local markets... We do have free parking ( yes when you can find a space)
also if you buy fresh from the marking you are keeping it local...ISH

Re: new supermarket?
 

Nowt left of or once good market. That was destroyed long afore the supermarket carry on because the council decided more cash would come from a retail building open most days. :p

Re: new supermarket?
 

Have you not seen what theyve done in Rossendale? Opened one at the Roundabout at Roadend. Asda moved and Tesco have leased the old Asda site in Rawtenstall and opened there 2 weeks ago!! So it wouldnt be nowt new to them to open another there Lancs Dave

By the way seeing as we've got Tesco's and Asdas how about a Sainsburys?

Re: new supermarket?
 

Re: new supermarket?
 

Asda moved to the otherside of Rawtenstall just at the bottom of Bank Street.

Re: new supermarket?
 

Has it got a decent car park? :D

Re: new supermarket?
 

Well there's a tesco at blackburn, haslingden and now the esso on manchester road.

The nearest morrisons is blackburn town centre.

So the obvious choice for smart money would be on sainsbury's as the nearest one to here is in Clitheroe I believe. Sainsbury's also do a lot of different stuff too asdas so that would be a good thing too.

Something like that

Re: new supermarket?
 

we have 3 tesco's in blackburn so think yourself lucky ;) i hope for accys sake they build a morrisons, tesco has gone right down in my estimations,morrisons is a lot cheaper,i dont think blackburn should have as many supermarkets as it has,asda,tesco,morrisons.lidl,aldi,netto..its getting beyond a joke

Re: new supermarket?
 

Is Clitheroe nearer than Burnley ?

Re: new supermarket?
 

Suppose which part of Accy you live in lancsdave .. I find it a piece of cake going to either Asda/Tesco/Sainsburys in Burnley, straight down M65 from Clayton... 10 mins at most, not much difference really, and larger stores. Citheroe takes a little longer and quite small, but adequate.
I feel should be Sainsburys as they do have different types of products, and give us a better choice.(Would save Cashman asking directions too ..:D ). I would have voted for none, but realise there are lots of people who don't have transport.

Re: new supermarket?
 

well if they do build a new supermarket think of the the jobs it will give!

Re: new supermarket?
 

tesco wud love to cut into asda monopoly here - only thing is the lack of space for one of their customery HUGE stores which are awesome. there's places i've seen a tesco express less than .5mile away from a tesco extra! so havin an express here isnt really much of a concern

personally i dont think anyone wud really care abou the spot - its too small to have a healthy sized store to rival asda

what they shud do with that space is make a nice big go karting track there where i can bankrupt myself

or another pound shop.

Re: new supermarket?

Re: new supermarket?

Re: new supermarket?
 

hi, yes thats the one they have moved to asda old one

Re: new supermarket?
 

Thats news to me and my niece works there. Also it said in the Free Press a couple of months ago that Tesco says that they are keeping both of them open.
