Soon to be a view of a building site and floodlighting

They do use the top floor I was there getting business just 3 weeks ago. It is a nice view as well

 

[Glam]

Apologies then, I was working there not so long back and it wasn't in use then. Just a storage area.

 

[John Marwood]

Are there three floors?

All be over by Valentines'.... or maybe Becher's

Wonder if Bruce will be there

That shop that's been empty for what must be a decade ? The one between Toni and Guy, and Katherine house, has applied for a change of use from shops to residential, and submitted plans to alter the building as such.

The range? Is that the scummy shop who sell electrical goods to the less fortunate members of society and take advantage of the fact they cant buy a tv outright and make them pay an extortionate amount of interest?

Think you are thinking of Brighthouse, The Range is a homewares type place, kind of like a more upscale Home Bargains.

It's a venerable courncopioa of thing you didn't know you needed for you home / couldn't imagine in your home ever (but someone must buy them)
- great for picture frames, garden things that kind of thing.

I think the Range is a good addition to Stafford.

2 new independent shops opening on north walls, cafe and a gift type shop.

 

[pinky]

I would love a range, it reminds me of a mix of dunelm and b&m. That's great news about the independent shops opening. I would love for Stafford to be full of independent shops and then the big shops on the outskirts. Hopefully when the other shops shops are up and running it will attract more independent shops to open in the town. One can hope anyway

Agreed, but will be sorry to see Homebase go, as I much preferred them to B&Q.

 

[markpa12003]

I'm afraid I won't be. I rarely went / brought anything from Homebase. The shop always felt confused to me - was it a DIY shop, home furnishings / furniture shop or a book store(!). For me, it tried to be too many things and failed to deliver any of them properly.

My last purchase from Homebase was a wheel barrow which I later discovered I could have brought from B&Q for £15 less.

Ideal new sponsor for Stafford Rangers?
