I'm sure I read somewhere that it had been sold to another business and will be rebranded as something like a Spar etc (can't remember which other brands they have).

It's a pretty small store. There's four stores in the area which is a bit excessive. Also, what clever person decided to undertake a major refit of the big co-op store just as there's roadworks making it more difficult to get into town.

Stafford aquatics seems to be in trouble.
The live animal license expired before they renewed its. Now it's having to go through the process again.
The back room is now empty and big sale on.

From a Co-op Members email - " Following a full review of our trading estate, we've made the difficult decision to transfer the Stafford, Baswich Lane store to Samy Limited. We expect the store will continue to trade into the new year."

Yes it'll still be a convenience store, but branded a Budgens or a Spar or a whatever's in the Samy portfolio.

Not great for lovers of cabbage, but better than an absolute lack of convenience.

I think the sale is probably the landlord

AFAIK Barclays have no plans to shut, yet!
