Riverside development April start

[Glam]

It can be revealed that Woolworths has chosen Stafford to relaunch with a state of the art new store. "People living in this area are used to suffering and deserve a fantastic new shopping experience," said company spokesperson, Mrs Trellis. "We will be the only outlet in the Midlands stocking 8-track cartridges, Betamax videos and Capstan Full Strength," she continued, before falling over the Pick 'n' Mix counter.

Spanish Gold? Pacers?

I've been to this retail development three times in the last two weeks to take other people, it's looking a lot cleaner on the litter front, however on all three occasions there have been cap and hoodie wearing youths cycling, doing wheelies and one occasion a couple of lads on scooters jumping off the walls by Costa whilst on their scooters then racing around and skidding across the paving slabs, which makes me think it won't be long before damage starts to appear, I also thought as its a covered area, is it somewhere they are hanging around in the evenings. It's quite off putting and if Stafford are trying appear more upmarket they need to do something about this, because this kind of behaviour really brings the area down.

 

[Really?]

I think the paving already needs a good Jet Wash. I doubt the parade will stretch to a security guard though so get used to the yobs. Hopefully when Burger King opens they will go back to the Centre. Until then they will take advantage of the shelter

Nando's Chickenland sounds like the most disappointing theme park ever

I think it was only ever a rumour, but hey - no harm in stoking it up again.

 

[Jonah]

Apparently Morrisons are...

No, sorry I can't do it.

I've missed this. Where are BK going?

I'm not a huge fan of fast food restaurants, however I do like BK.

Great posts by pinky Carole and Jade. This new centre not only brings jobs, customer spending, business rates and big names into the town is didn't have but has reinvigorated a run down area.

this is great news town and should be welcomed with open arms and pis**ed all over by usual doom and gloom merchants and miserable gits.

if the guildhall come through and the north walls opens quick Stafford could be quids in. Believe or not stafford is still better than most towns when it comes shop occupancy better than the national and regional average.

The best news of all is the centre is barely open yet walking around town late friday tuesday and yesterday afternoons I couldn't believe how busy the town was, busier than I have seen in a couple of years. Trying to get a coffee in Starbucks at 3pm yesterday was a no go with a queue 5 deep ans every seat inside and out was taken. It was lovely to see.

I think the disrespectful comments by alpha that stafford has nothing to offer beyond mill st is outrageous. I am sure the likes of the swan bear grill pandora bean encounter, No7, market vaults, salter st toys, water stones, accessorize, monsoon, Hadleigh, sports direct, every business in church lane and st mary's mews, kismet rose, cup a cha, the cup cake shop ( can't remember name), ernest Jones, f hinds,butlers bell, argos, home and bargain, mr simms, thorntons, macdonalds, macgregors, smiths, clintons, greenwoods, body shop, tresspass, lapel, rig out, Gatehouses, st chads and marys church, the shirehall, ancient high house? County buildings etc etc wtc would have something to say about that.

Embrace it this is great for the town

Errm, what about The Floodgate ? .........

Happily add the Floodgate amongst a number of others not added to the list

Outside of Costa was a mess today with rubbish Everywhere else looked pretty nice. Think they need more staff in Costa to keep on top of keeping things looking nice and a timely service.

A little birdy I was chatting with yesterday*, told me that a certain shoe shop that's currently located on Mill Street is looking to take one of the smaller units.

Personally I don't think this will happen as Mill Street seems busier than ever! (@Jade-clothing ?)

*This is totally unsubstantiated gossip between little birdys !
