There is no branding at either site(riverside) or at the aldi. I suspect this may come when the builds are finished and the builds are being decked out.

Just driven past the Aldi site and there are signs for the new store and its not even out of the ground yet.

Aldi S - sorry didn't realise there was two planned. Where is the Aldi N going to be?

I recall listening to a Radio 4 programme about out-of-town stores, around fifteen years ago. A French bloke said that he believed that their out-of-town hypermarkets had actually saved their small town high streets from redevelopment.

That kind of makes sense - I can't imagine a building the size of Tesco or Asda on the high street.That would be a travesty.

The balance needs to be struck on where and how people live, and access amenities - and how the shops around the adapt.

Overheard Gossip..the chippy

Lidl wanted the Paul Reynolds site but the cost of binning his existing tennants made it not viable ( really!?? )

They then asked about the old tax office site and Homebase but another store has bagseed it when Homebase shuts down...crazeee

I tend to agree that Morrisons probably arent coming to Stafford now, given their past history of off loading/dumping new sites/builds and many court cases to boot across the country...

However, I dont undertand what you mean by "3 small units".

I parked there yeserday and its one big unit with 2 smaller units beside it.

Is there any actual factual basis to this assertion that Morrisons won't be coming or is it just the usual rumour built upon rumour and supposition?

It's because the true Oracle ( Northern Lights Chip Shop ) is closed and undergoing restoration that we have the tittle-tattle

When it reopens we will know ..

Or go see Basil

But don't mention the blinds

Are you trying to say that random blokes overheard in chippies are somehow unreliable? I lost three million quid when I failed to take on board what was being said in the Windmill Fish Bar a few years back. Won't make than mistake again.
