Wilko store to become a Poundland.
news.sky.com
With the caveat "While the deal includes "up to" 71 Wilko shops, a spokesman said the final total would depend on talks with the landlords of each site to agree lease terms."
Poundland to take over up to 71 Wilko stores
The retailer said it would give priority to Wilko workers when hiring new staff for the branches. A total of 122 out of Wilko's 400 outlets have now been acquired by its rivals.

It belongs to The Crown
The Freehold is only a right to be on the land, not own it
Tenancy is a right pay the freeholder a rent to be on the land that is owned by The Crown
You may own the lower stratum, the air immediately above the land, but not the higher stratum
You may own that which lies beneath the land unless it's coal, oil, gas or certain precious metals.
The Crown is also entitled to all gold and silver found beneath the property
Unless it’s in the shape of an antelope
In which case it’s owned by Dick Van Dyke
And the Beverley Sisters
Unless they are wearing red when strucken

Don't know how long this shop on Browning Street has been here but spotted it because they had some Christmas lamps in the window as I walked past.

I seem to remember they started work on the shop around this time last year, but it didn't open until January.

I haven't really walked around that area since the Reynolds bar closed and I wouldn't really notice driving by.
I only noticed today because I was walking past en route to the bus after dropping my car off at Cole's.

I lied. Today work in progress on the new Poundland shop, shopfitters in the new Home Bargains shop and even the new charity shop to be has had all of the carpet samples removed. Sudden hive of activity, almost like a commercial version of the March Spend.

Recruitment has also started on home bargains too. If its not open by mid October I'd be surprised.

don't mention the blinds
Yep, says that on the sign near Queens. I presume it'll take a while to recruit, get the fixtures and fittings up to spec, get the stock. Plus they probably have a few months left on the Hough site lease? (I presume that is closing?).
