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

Completely agree with you there Harwood red:D

If you are counting Kwik Save at Clitheroe, it has closed down, went past on Thursday.
 
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.

looks like we are gonna get a tesco.........
Tesco Supermarket For Accrington Town Centre (from Lancashire Telegraph)
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.

I think the petrol sales are independent of Tescos at the Metro store that's why you dont collect clubcard points for buying fuel there
 
What we really need is a good book shop, a good computer shop and a good toy shop there is nothing like this in town
and there are plenty of closed shops in town that need filling before we have another supermarket

What we really need is any good shop!!!!we went to blackburn yesterday to the jewellers near the old cinema, Valhal, is got a massive sale on as its shutting down after 32 years due to the council not renewing the lease, a lot of the shops round there are shut and it looks terrible, all down to rent rises and non renewal of leases,so it looks like blackburn council are gonna ruin the town like hyndburn council have ruined accy.
 
Tesco Express will not close because of the petrol which is independent from the shop,Esso own the site and it will not be closing.
Besides the shop itself makes around 45-50000 pounds a week and employs around 25 people so it wouldnt make sense to close it.
It is a busy shop and the forecourt is always packed,me and my fiance know this because we have worked there ever since it opened and it has continued to grow steadily since.
And before people think no wonder we are all for the new tesco we are not looking for a transfer and are happy where we are!

We go to B/BURN Iceland. They have loads more stuff, better bargains and its a hell of a lot easier to park the car, than carry bags and bags up the arndale car park.
