So we have another supermarket in town, well its more of a convenience store. Morrisons OpensI thought I would pop in lunch time and grab a bite to eat and heard at least 5 people comment how small the shop is. If you have not been in, the shop is approximately half the size of the old HMV with no access to the car park. So what do you think, should they have made full use of the ground floor?

QUOTE (Strafin @ Jul 22 2013, 01:52 PM) It was an existing building though, and with room needed for storage and presumably an office I doubt they could have made it much bigger. There is plenty of room up stairs, the top floor is almost as big as the ground floor. If I remember correctly (I used to work in that building when Mortimer's were there) there's at least half of the top floor which could be used for storage, the rest was toilets and staff room etc. I think they will also loose a lot of walk through customers.

QUOTE (Biker1 @ Jul 23 2013, 06:10 AM) Pity they can't open a petrol station. That might bring prices down to that which most other towns enjoy. Or would they just join the Sainsburys / Tesco cartel? Sainsbury's can't be playing the game - 2p a litre cheaper on Diesel at the weekend than their rivals up the hill.

QUOTE (Turin Machine @ Jul 23 2013, 04:16 PM) Perhaps because its opened in Newbury? Just because something can be seen in Newbury doesn't mean its a a valid matter for discussion. The Forum Police are very hot on this; we are expected to behave. This is Newbury please, no question, no thinking, and no idea.
