HOLY.....:eek::eek::eek::eek:!
Does that include the Tescos that just changed their names we had a Tesco near us that until a year or two back was called just Tesco. Then suddenly it was called Tesco Express.
The man in charge of TESCO will know (it will be a man).
It includes name changes.
54% of the UK population is within 15 minutes of a Tesco Extra
5 min walk of a Tesco Express
5 min drive to another Tesco express
5 min drive to a Tesco Superstore
All opened in the last couple of years.
4 in St Albans (1 of them is a metro) with the giant one rejected
2 in Potters Bar (either end of Mutton Lane)
If the proposals go ahead there will be 2 superstores in the Welwyn Hatfield area :eek: oh yes and a few in the Watford area i'm not sure about all the others.
Yes ive had 2 Tesco Expresse's open up recently practically right on top of each other.
Bloody ridicullas.
One of them's opened like just up the street from a morrisons in Fleetville road in St Albans and Walworth Road (A215) in South London. :mad:
Was it central london because if so large corporations usually dominate the market there?
To be fair I can understand why you would put a shop next to a tube station, but a few less Tescos and Costas would have been nice.
There's a few novelty shops/restaurants lurking here and there you just gotta find them first it's quite tricky
Basically the 4 small localities that had a decent mix of independent shops are now run by Tesco. There is no need for 4 within walking distance of each other and it seems they re only there to force the competition to close down. I wouldn't be surprised once that happens, a couple of the Tescos close too.
What once looked like a future dominated by the 'evil' Microsoft, now looks like it wiil be Tesco and Apple run.
Whilst not noticing Tesco, I think I read that their is a M&S food store near every central London Tube Station (those within the circle line), maybe Tesco going for the same strategy.
