think the final nail went in yrs ago A-B, as for the jobs, many will be part-time,no matter were anyone lives, think perhaps the bottom line is,most people would welcome it, right or wrong thats the way of it i suspect.

There was an offer to buy the building where we rent our office, I believe the owner got greedy and tesco pulled out, no surprise there, (for the owner being greedy I mean), that was on Burnley rd near Altham/Clayton.

Plus there will be the tesco's in Great Harwood too!! With a tesco petrol station :)

Thomas lee how can you say that Accrington isn't big enough for two big supermarkets? It's alot bigger than you think...and a competition for Asda can only be a good thing.

Look a clitheroe, they have 3 supermarkets there and that is a lot smaller town than accrington

I'm in two minds about this. We do shop at Tesco anyway, in Blackburn usually, so this won't make much difference to where we shop but it will be handy. On the other hand I do think it's a shame that every town seems to be a clone of the next one and there are fewer and fewer different and independant shops which make town centre shopping more interesting.

I think it's a good move for Accrington, it creates a hell of a lot of jobs, and creates competition for Asda, probably driving prices down. As for the "poor independent businesses", forgive me for not feeling sorry for rip-off merchants. They make shed loads of money, for THEMSELVES, Tesco will make a lot of money, yeah, but it will also create jobs.

Asda and Tesco have already had a dressing down by the OFT for price fixing. I doubt that any prices will be driven down. The buggers are just more discreet in their methods of operation.

at least it will create 450 jobs:rolleyes:, feel sorry for the small businesses if it does go ahead, also asda will have competition:rolleyes:
450 jobs thats a laugh, 420 of them will be part time, which means a saving to them, they will be low paid shelf fillers, trolley shifters and goods shifters in the wharehouse.

We already have Asda, Aldi, Lidl and one or two smaller chains, theres only so much money in the town, which will mean some shops will go under after 12 months, and the local council mafia will hve some excuse.

And what will happen to the tesco express at the petrol station?

Will that stay open or will it shut?

I think it will stay open as it is linked to the petrol station and its handy when you go to pay you can pick up a few bits of shopping, bit like corner shop really :D

but who says they'll keep the petrol station open - they might decide to shut it and have the petrol station at the tesco

That would suit me, at least you would be able to collect clubcard points on you`re petrol, anyway i don`t for a minute think it will shut.
