I am wondering if it might be BHS.

Outfit and BHS are owned by The Arcadia Group and quite often (but not always) where there is an Outfit there is usually a BHS nearby.

Just a thought.

The new development seems to have much for the younger market (apart from Marks and Spencer) so BHS might balance it out a bit.
Arcadia group called about renting a room to interview potential staff, but I assumed that was just top shop moving in.

Nandos is ok if you don't like to eat much. Friends of ours love it and always drag us there but I always come out feeling hungry.

Love this picture...

... wtf?

The bit in the foreground is presumably that closest to the new development - ie the bit with the 'mezzanine' car park - and if it is, then the rest of the Civic Centre seems to have magically made a 90° turn. At least three of the people above would actually be in the Sow. I particularly like how the artist has, presciently, made part of the frontage look like it is a failed business, already boarded up with plywood.

I remember on previous imaginations of the new build behind, that SIGN are due to have a heavy presence there - they're going to get the heebie-jeebies knowing that SIGNAGE are opening so close.

Gotcha - here - was having all sorts of trouble trying to work out the angles but it does sort of fit.

That's quite a few lost parking spaces. And quite fanciful...

Nando's is useful if you have a largish group because everyone can order separately and you pay before the food arrives, and there's a choice of different heats for the sauces - it's fine, I've no great love for them, but it's not a bad addition to a town's restaurant offering.

Really? I thought it was all saucy & shiz.

If so then I ordered badly! Never saw any 'wet' food though, just marinated then grilled (as in a hot plate). I'd not complain if they came to Stafford but I doubt I'd eat there either, at least chiquitoes sell a variety of food.

BHS also in serious financial trouble as well.

notice the service yard and car park at the back of SBC has essential gone and fenced off

The other half won a nandos lunch for 2 years ago on Twitter... We went to Wolverhampton and was truly shocked at what we got compared to how much it would of cost if it wasn't free....
