Stafford shops opening - Turning into a boom town?

bunique · Oct 6, 2017

Theres a ladies clothes shop at 1 Salter street - on the little alley by Costa - selling "high end and preowned" clothes. Gorgeous Ted Baker dress in the window for £40. Shame I'm such a fat bloater I'd never get in it :pig:

Work on fitting out the new Millets store has commenced opposite the old Millets....

Those trousers only cost me £12.50.

I've seen jobs advertised for a branch of 'The Works' in Stafford. Would love to see them back in the town again.

I went into Millets to buy some camouflage trousers, couldn't find any.

Nice one.

I posted something like that once, on Facebook. One of my friends replied "Why don't you try the Army & Navy stores in ..... "

Yes, I've missed them as well

Permanent roles too - https://jobmate.recruitive.com/Agencies/TheWorks/JobDetails.cfm?vacID=37898 - I'm going to make a guess that they will appear in the Guildhall

Would be delighted for The Works to return - brilliant for books, craft supplies and cheap birthday presents for school kids' parties!

The lighter armoured vehicles aren't always where you left them.

Excellent.

Occasionally they sell some real gems. I remember buying these in Stafford just before they closed - some reprinted old maps of this area and where I used to live.

Makers Market coming to Stafford monthly from 21st October - looks like a welcome addition!

Looking at it closer this looks like a bit of a coup for Stafford, the company runs markets in a number of other "hipper" spots. Hope it's a success

Fantastic, I've also got family staying that weekend (on a return trip to Stafford since they liked it so much last time)

Millets have now moved and set up in their new store. Opening tomorrow by the looks of it!
