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.This must be welcome news for the shops in the north end of town! Good news!
Will Lidl be demolished when the bypass is constructed?
No it wont, Lidl were never going anywhere....Yes it will. The plan was that they would move to Kingsmead, but Aldi appear to have nobbled that.
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.I was looking forward to the possibility of accessing Aldi via the old railway line, but I prefer Lidl anyway.
The chavs of Stafford, on their relentless shell-suited trek to Aldi .....
If it's who I think it is* you should try the ignore button, the site seems more upbeat when filtered.I knew there would be one person who saw a new Aldi as a negative thing. No surprise who it is.
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.

He's in training for the Utter Bollocks Olympics where, I believe, he will easily get the gold medal. Go, Hope.I knew there would be one person who saw a new Aldi as a negative thing. No surprise who it is.
I used to think he was a shoplifter!The chavviest person that I've seen in Lidl was that startlingly effective security bloke from a few years ago.
I almost tipped the staff off before I realised what he was really up to.I used to think he was a shoplifter!
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.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.
As always, I am being realistic rather than negative. Any negativity is yours.I knew there would be one person who saw a new Aldi as a negative thing. No surprise who it is.
