Guest makapaka   #2 Posted July 5, 2016 What do people think of the new tesco express on Manchester Rd ? Good idea or not. Personally I think it's brilliant.;??  Went in earlier. Is what it is. Will hurt the spar but that's not a bad thing cos it's generally rubbish.  Worry a bit about the butchers and veg shop as you would imagine they will get a down turn they can't soak up like spar can.  My suggestion to all would be by all means use the Tesco but don't forget about the local businesses cos once they're gone they won't be coming back.

It also has an excellent butcher and greengrocer.  There is room for both. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Though it's not quite as busy of course, parking is far less problematic than in Broomhill. That's a good advantage for a start.  I already said in the other thread, and agree with the above poster, Spar will probably struggle.

Â I don't know it, but if it's a good butchers (which your post suggests), then it will have no problems, parking/Tesco or not. Â Definitely more dangerous for a fruit and veg shop, because supermarkets sell adequate/above adequate fruitnveg these days.

hyper   10 #10 Posted July 7, 2016 Broomhill has a Tesco, a Sainsburys and a Morrisons. It also has an excellent butcher and greengrocer. There is room for both. Broomhill also has a healthy student population as well as hospital and university workers in the area. Crosspool doesn't - it's mainly a middle class residents area who will either (a) shop at Tesco cos its cheap/convenient or (b) support local traders. Few will do both Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Lurgh Mor   10 #11 Posted July 7, 2016 Tesco Express is not "cheap". The brand is for convenience. Tesco Extra stores carry the "value" brands. I have experience of this when the Tesco-previously The Beehive on Dykes Hall Rd - changed to an Express from a Metro. Worth checking the Wiki entry which nicely explains the different store types.
