Tesco is moving into the M&S shop in the town centre.
My thoughts - they will need a high footfall to keep overheads going!
We only shop every two/three weeks so need a car park close by as it's generally a large shop.
We certainly couldn't manage a big shop where they are plonking themselves.

But there is another Tesco in the precinct at the bottom end of the market square...will they comoete aith each other?

If Ive read correctly they are closing that one/ they will need a lot of footfall to make that pay!

A couple of people I've spoken to have mentioned Tesco closing the precinct store and moving to the old M&S site.
One says it will be a reversal of the M&S move with people losing out when just picking a few things up in the precinct store on their way back to their cars in the multi storey across Beetwell street.
I personally don't give a monkey's either way, as I've said my trips to town are becoming more and more infrequent, I go because I have to. Just this week it will be to visit Specsavers for an eye test and will call in the bank whilst there, I see no reason to keep going when I can shop elsewhere with free parking.
