High Street retail investment in action
Tons of concrete being poured into the High Street Co-op. Just across the road shopfitters were busy working late too in the former DE shoe shop that is soon to become a Red Cross Charity Shop.

Concerning that in other towns such as Tain and Huntly co-op has invested in its town centre stores heavily and closed its lagrer store. With lidl on the horizon are they planning a similarcontaction? It may make business sense.
Have to agree with the above post. With a revamped high St store, Sainsburys, Lidl and Home Bargains the bigger store seems irrelevant. Coop sit nicely in the convenience niche, they have struggled to compete on a larger scale.
'Tonnes' maybe?
ReplyDeleteNaw...I prefer 'Tons'...as you need less of them
ReplyDelete@ anon re window - Heard that too anon, but will have to get it from a horse's mouth so to speak :-)
ReplyDeleteThere is the 'metric ton'.
ReplyDeleteMaybe the Gurn is just being up to date and factual in it's reporting (as per usual)

ReplyDeleteRe Anon @1.20pm, maybe the big co-op could sell up to Lidl now, it would save Lidl building a new store.
