I see Aldi are setting up an information day July 2nd I think in Clay Cross for the proposed store, also one is planned for Eckington.
Just a thought but how would Aldi be received in Bolsover if they came seeing as Morrisons have pulled out
-
Presume the Clay Cross one will be for the Haus Herr site oppersite the Tesco filling station?
Rumours were that they were going to be on the proposed new development oppersite the snooker centre, but they have put an objection into that planning saying they have an agreement with the owners of the land that Haus Herr stands on.
Personally the sooner the better, means the Mrs won't have to go to Alfreton Aldi anymore, and she hates trying to get to Chesterfield one

Welcome to the forum Steve.
Yes that's the one Steve, we originally thought it was going to be built on the new development - have you see the size of the development area? Not sure what else will go on there.
Only sure thing is more traffic lights on Derby road :-?
I take daughter to Lidl in Chesterfield so it will be nearer for us as well if they do open up there.
I reckon it will kill Market street in Clay Cross off altogether though which I find sad - do you think the long standing shops such as the Strawberry Basket will with stand it?
-
Demolition of the building on the Aldi site at Eckington has already started. It's near to one of my regular taxi jobs :)

Thanks for the welcome
Not sure on that one, I think they stand a better chance with the Haus Herr site as its still close by, where as the Bi Waters one is a bit too out of the centre.

Sorry steve I seem to have missed your first post back in December :(
Welcome to chesterfieldonline :)
According to the Derbo Times, it is to be built on the Haus Herr site if they get the go ahead.
Can't see why they shouldn't TBH.
-
I would have liked to have gone to the information day but not sure if I can make it.
There are very few shops left now in Clay Cross since Tesco arrived, but I reckon Aldi will give Tesco some tough competition.
-
Aldi 'should' take a large amount of business from Tesco. Tesco customer service is pathetic, on a good day. Prices are extortionate.
-
I hope Aldi do. I wish nothing but bad fortune on Tesco - may they rot... etc etc.

Try to think positive, wishing bad on someone isn't constructive. Explain why you want someone to rot?
-
Because they drive small local businesses out of business, pay grotesquely low wages, drive local farmers to brink of bankrupcy - and are so inept, even with all the power and clout they command they cannot run a successful business, managing to lose millions of pounds as announced a few months ago.
I wouldn't piss on 'em if they were on fire.
-
What is the current pay structure of Tesco?
For the last 35 years, all i have heard is that farmers are low paid. Do you know their current salaries?
A business with a good accountant will show little or no profit. If you had a business you would do the same.
-
I do have a business and I do pay taxes. Next?
-
Answer my other questions?
-
I have actually read in the paper today that Tesco shareholders are not happy with the 'below' living wage which Tesco are paying it's staff.

Having said this I have also read that Tesco's are not alone in this as some other supermarkets are also guilty of the same pracitise.
-
>> Answer my other questions?
Draw up a list.
-
If £7.85 is the living wage, my wife earns below this, and doesn't work for a supermarket chain.
Pete,
Do you not try and keep tax payments to a minimum?
-

Can't you have a discussion?

Unfortunately many do I think fuppet, care workers are another group who very often get paid under the llimit.
I think the high prices which Tesco's have commanded for goods have rattled people considerably.

Cruser, need to vote with our feet. I much prefer lidl.

I'm in the middle of three at the moment... Just want to get a clear idea what your questions are.
-
If you can't answer my questions, it's time to pack in, i'm as simple as you'll get
-

Yes I agree we have changed to lidl to do our main shop, still some things I can't get from lidl though so hoping Aldi can fill the gap! ;)
-

Not that I cant answer them Fuppet - I was involved with several threads on here and some more on Facebook and I wouldn't be doing justice to your questions if I tried to answer them at the same time. Plus you asked about my father in law and that would be difficult to answer whilst in the middle of a political knockabout.

Aldi at Clay Cross could be fun to watch as they take on the might of Tesco.

Oh yes - Aldi the best beef joint we've ever had which includes M&S, Sainsburys,Butchers in town!
Can't fault them
-
Same old same old. Get T***** to pay the workers a living wage and the farmers a fair price. Guess what happens next. Yep the prices go up and you all complain about it
-

No I don't/won't. I don't support "soft slavery".

I've read that there are more supermarkets than Tesco's who do this - Sainbury's was on the list
-
Every business pays pretty much what it can afford to based on market forces
-
We have activity on the land just outside Clay Cross today - diggers etc.
Daughter was really pleased - whatever ever floats your boat hunny eh ;)
-
One hear cant wait for Aldi to open its doors, sick of paying stupid prices at Tesco. :)
-
Very busy now on this site, it seems to be moving quite fast.
Not sure of the dreaded traffic lights are part of this development, not long since we got rid of the other Derby Road developments traffic lights is it.
I thought I would miss the Clay Cross traffic lights after going into Tesco's and went up towards Wingfield Church, only to come to a grinding halt with yet more traffic stop and go signs.
JC Balls lorries were out in force, there were even 3 parked up in Hepthorne Lane.
