Stafford shops opening - Turning into a boom town?

[rudie111]

I responded to your post about bowling.
Only considering "Tenpin" in a large characterless building "strikes" me as being rather narrow minded.

I have though experienced one of those establishments you refer to and reported it to Wolverhampton Trading Standards for selling keg M&B Mild badged as "Traditional Draught".

I merely stated that the pins were already on strings at Tenpin in direct response to a previous post. I have no idea how we got to here but enjoy your day. If I wasn't at work I would be drinking in the midday sun too!

Everything is to do with a pub, whether it is or not.

Apparently.

I just knew I'd end up agreeing with you eventually !

That actually made me laugh out loud.

Every flipping post gets turned into pub chat. There is a special place for that on here.

Then I can think of my last post here as my good deed for the day !

But if I wanted to be pedantic I could argue that that bowling, whether nine pin or ten, should be in a special bowling place not in a topic about shops opening.

There's nothing I can see on planning or building control portals

I hope they've agreed in advanced who gets which power sockets lol

I don't think they are splitting the unit more just putting up a part dividing wall

Unless it’s changing usage type they wouldn’t need to

Sorry re:earlier post on tenpin, think I was typing and walking!

What I meant was there’s a new bowling alley and arcade opening next to the Odeon, so Tenpin is going to have competition much closer to town and could probably do with a spruce up if it’s going to stay viable.

They are painting the old Toni and guy so it might be relet already. Possibly just a buyout rebrand.

Edit: Oh… wrong thread for negativity. This isn’t the ghost town thread!


Uhhh. Ummm.

That Munch place looks… interesting?

Also, so Chico’s and its cladding wasn’t in keeping with the aesthetic of the road, but the giant grey box up by the Enterprise place is absolutely fine? Are you kidding me?

The new unit isn't that out of place when you consider you've got Greyfriars Business Park, Bristol Street, Shell, MKM etc in the area.

I think work has started on the soon to be greggs unit next to Costa on Queens retail park.

Greggs is set to open in July according to someone who was interviewed for a job there.

It will be good to have a few more options on there
