Bit of an odd location but then so was their last place.Opening up again by Rising Brook Co-op, I believe - tomorrow.
The Polish shop next to Shaw Trust - opposite Wickes - may have shut - it's been closed the last few times I've gone past, although there still seems to be stock in there.
Some mail is piling up behind the door now, too.
It's not really helping, but Lidl actually has five tills - it seems standard practice in all supermarkets to have unused checkout "capacity".the queue in lidl takes the piss, I know it's cheap, but having one member of staff on when they have 4 tills is a definite annoyance.
Just ask them to open another till, they always do....Seems that it's been closed about 3-4 weeks now, although they may be on holiday, a quick peep through, looks like the booze has been hidden out of sight / removed.
Tbh, that place is crying out for a small cafe or proper news agents / spar shop.
It'd be perfect for staff in that retail park lunch runs, the queue in lidl takes the piss, I know it's cheap, but having one member of staff on when they have 4 tills is a definite annoyance.
Nope it's open.Has something happened at Burton cycles, one of the few good traditional shops left in Stafford?
You could always go in and ask.Still a sign in the window today
Sorry, but I have an incurable disease that prevents me from going into a bicycle shop without buying yet more things I don't really need.You could always go in and ask.

It's a pension fund innit. So realistic expectations go out the window.£450,000.
I can understand lots of old buildings being sold for high prices, but £450,000 seems like a stupid amount of money for a tiny building that’s going to be incredibly difficult to do anything with due to the listed status and the fact that it’s so damn old.
There’s a whole bunch of available units in Stafford, they’re having a laugh if they think anyone will choose that one.

That was my initial thought but the upkeep on such a building can't be cheap and the roof looks suspiciously like it's going to need a re-thatch soonish. Not sure the profit on 20k pa would make it viable.Renting it at £20k per annum may be a better bet, and looks good value compared to £50k per annum for Pastiche building.

Then again it's a pretty unique proposition for somebody so you never know who might turn up with a suitcase full of £50 notes and snap it up.
