Yes it will. The plan was that they would move to Kingsmead, but Aldi appear to have nobbled that, so it's a case of one in, one out. Net gain to Stafford: zero, as usual.

Aldi will almost certainly have done a 'deal' to move their new shop from the north end to Kingsmead. That will probably be in the form of a bribe of reduced or zero business rates, which means that we as ratepayers are subsidising it. Aldi also don't have the cost, and time delay of building a new store either. Aldi's normal business model, however, is to build their own stores, to a standard design, on the very edge of town centres, rather than this close to the Centre, so renting a pre-existing building is fairly unique, one exception being Manchester where they do rent a former BHS store in the main shopping street.

Of course putting another Aldi in there won't halt or help the demise of Salter Street one bit. The chavs of Stafford, on their relentless shell-suited trek from Primark on one side of the town to Aldi at the other side are hardly going to be stopping off for a cuppa at that rather quaint (for Stafford) little tea shop on the corner are they (if it's even still there). Not when there's a weatherspoons just round the corner.

Have you ever been inside an Aldi or taken a look at the cars on the car park?
The middle classes have realised that Aldi stock rather good quality items at a fraction of the cost of the other supermarkets.
I'd say that the clientele were not chavvy but actually rather savvy.

If it's who I think it is* you should try the ignore button, the site seems more upbeat when filtered.
* and it must be, as I can't see it.

I have never been inside an Aldi or Lidl shop, nor do I intend to. I am not prepared to forage for food in a glorified warehouse. And I have more important things to do with my time than survey cars on car parks, I will leave that to you.
Most of my food shopping is done in Waitrose in Uttoxeter. With food, as everything else, you get what you pay for. Quality is more important to me than saving a few pence.

As always, I am being realistic rather than negative. Any negativity is yours.
Admittedly, in Stafford realism and negativity do rather go hand in hand.
