Stafford shops opening - Turning into a boom town?

[DoggedWalker]

Tesco petrol/diesel station is closed until mid Oct for a refurb....

Is that the one at the supermarket or the Tesco Express on the Rising Brook?

 

[EasMid]

The main one in Town.

If Mark Ashley is the new owner of Riverside as rumoured, looks like one of his first moves , apart from moving in Evans and sports direct, is splitting up all those massive empty units into much smaller, potentially more affordable units.

Is that Mike Ashley's brother?

Are you thinking of the the ones facing onto the river earmarked for casual dining? I didn't think there were many big units left in the shopping bit.

Yeah, they've all been made into much smaller units if you peep through the window. Although, I don't know why, wasn't that a criticism of the Guildhall, that the units were unsuitable for bigger shops, have we went full circle?

We'll never get John Lewis now.

I saw they were doing pretty substantial work to one of them but I haven't walked past since.

Never say never.

The one at Rising Brook is Esso.

The one at Rising Brook is Esso.

Yep, but a Tesco express store. Hence confusion.

True, but does that mean you go to Spar (Shell, Eccleshall Road) or Londis (Esso, Foregate Street) for fuel.

Well I'm off to Wales next weekend so will fill up there where it's 10p a litre cheaper

If they did it cheaper then yes. Although they do sell vegetable oil

For everyone’s information:
At Tesco fuel stations you get 1 Clubcard point for every £2 spent on fuel.
At branded fuel stations with a Tesco Express attached, you get 1 Clubcard point for every £3 spent on fuel.

How much is a Clubcard point worth, out of interest,?

 

[Gramaisc]

1p.

 

[proactive]

1p.

Well worth paying an extra few pence over Asda and Texaco then...
