What their website says :
Our friendly Wildwood store is in a popular area of Stafford on Wildwood Road adjacent to the A34 Cannock Road. We're next door to the Wildwood pub restaurant, as well as local shops and amenities including a pharmacy, newsagent, Peacocks clothing store and community centre.
What they are actually doing :
The co-op have refused to issue a new lease to the newsagents forcing them to close. What this means is that local residents, including the old and less mobile will be denied their delivery service that they have always had in the area.
This newsagent has not only lost his livelihood but has also lost everything he paid for the business when he bought it from the previous owners. He has traded despite his landlord "the co-op" selling everything that they sell next door to them but have made their business viable through sheer hard work and by going the extra mile for their delivery customers.
As we all know business is business, but can the co-op please spare us the "we care for the community crap". They are looking to wring out every penny possible from the local residents just like all the multinational supermarkets do. if that means stamping on the little man then so be it. The fact that they will no longer be delivering papers to anyone including those that can not get out to collect one is of no interest to them.
