But where in Telford ?Telford.
The concept of the 'bricks & mortar' department store is dead I am afraid. Everyone carries the world's biggest department store around in their pocket. I am typing this message on it now....
What a load of shit
When I moved here there was one bus to Telford a week from Penkridge, trouble was there wasn't a bus back.But where in Telford ?
With the new Cloud Town offering drinks & snacks and Munch & Slurp only footsteps away, where would you recommend for a satisfying lunchtime break?
Your logic & reasoning is second to none - no waffle required here.Telford.
And you had the sense not to take it ?When I moved here there was one bus to Telford a week from Penkridge, trouble was there wasn't a bus back.
I got some Wilko's Danish Oil in there back in October.Many of Wilko's products are now available in the range.
Stafford is to England what the UK is to Europe, if anyone can fail to make something work SBC will be there!But department stores exist all over the UK, and people travel to get to them.
So, they do very much work if they have town planners who have a clear overview of what makes a town viable.

I used to think this, but since working from home I realised I hate going into Stafford! I use the Aldi in town but TBH thats about it nowadays, and we often go to Stone instead just to avoid the traffic.I'd love a shop to come in and disrupt the market. Open from 5pm to 9pm when people have some free time.
Can't stand Primark, generally cheap tat and fast fashion, the supermarkets a slightly better class of fast fashion. Love TK Maxx but it hit and miss if they have what you need. What I'd love is Clarks back, quality shoes, and some more quality clothing stores. Plus a decent kids clothes store that isn't a supermarket. Just generally better quality things and the shops that sell them. Cheap stuff is total false economy.I've never seen the appeal of department stores where you end up with tiny concessions of shops, but I'm not hooked on specific brands, so maybe it's that. We actually have such a good range of large shops and supermarkets in Stafford (compared to other towns that I know of)
- so in the spirit of the post above.
Primark - ladies, mens, kids, home,
TkMaxx - ladies, mens, kids, home,
Tesco / Asda / Sainsbury's - ladies, mens, kids, home, cafe
