Please not the pound bakery their food is awful
I agree, we don't need expansion of food shops.
I may have said this before; nevertheless, I wonder if anyone would like to stick their neck out and say when they think Accy town centre could get the following:
a) A Bento/Sushi eat in/takeaway.
b) a Peri-Peri eat in/takeway.
c)A street level and look-in fitness & chat-up gym.
d) A walk in tattoo removal surgery.
e) A Tie Rack/Knickerbox...
.....ok. Forget about the last 'un.

Were I just being totally stupid whilst nipping into Accy on Sunday, but why on earth was the Arndale and Indoor Market closed?! (First visit to the town centre on a weekend in a long while.)
Surely, Sunday (most 9-5 people off work).. wanting to do some shopping? Market day Sunday makes sense? No wonder the town centre is a ghost town! - Anyway, ended up down Blackburn for my needs - if anyone cares.

If you are a self employed small retailer which day of the week would you have off ?
Out of curiosity how many stalls were open on Blackburn Market ?
Well some of the idle gits have two.
Any I please, I'd take the opportunity to employ someone to work the day/s I'd have off! - Should opening times be 7 days..
I think Dave's point was that a small retailer might not be able to afford to employ someone, even if it meant the business could stay open seven days.Any I please, I'd take the opportunity to employ someone to work the day/s I'd have off! - Should opening times be 7 days..
Nail on head, although given the fact New Look and JJB have dissapeared maybe it's not just small retailers
Soon be like a wild west ghost town. Just have to ship in some tumble weed for the BIG LIGHTS extravaganza. Wondering where the hoards are going to spend their hard earned whilst waiting for the big switch on. 
Certainly like the wild west at times, with some of them there varmits who now walk those mean streets.
will be sampling for myself in a few weeks.yep and guess what stanley are playing away
Perhaps like you not enough people visit the town centre often enough on Sundays to warrant them opening?
There is only so much money about.......opening seven days a week eats into what little profits are there to be made...after all the shop has to be staffed and lighting and heating paid for.
Don't you think that people who staff the shops want some time for some kind of family life?

They could have relocated the businesses currently in the arndale...flattened it and used that as the bus station....because pretty soon there isn't going to be anything in the Arndale worth going in for.
Would it be missed?
Is it me or was the town busier when that was a large free car park were it stands and weird shaped conveniences for weird shaped locals.
