It's down to the landlord who they rent to. In the vast majority of cases that will not be the Council.

It is also down to the market demand what shops go where.

 

I swear the way some people comment its as if these retailers just stick a pin in a map.

 

They know full well what footfall, what income brackets and what types of customers do their shopping in X area. They know full well which store locations have good prospects and which don't.

 

We customers create the demand and we get the retailers we choose to spend in.

Trash products creating a false economy

[ECCOnoob 1,041]

True.

 

But we public lap them up. We flock to get our fill of our cheap trash and even cheaper mass produced foods.

 

We sit there surrounded by far eastern made goods produced by people on peanuts wages. We brag about our bargain purchases and beat the rip off Britain drum whilst at the same time complaining about the poor wages for British workers and lack of British industry.

 

Hypocrites doesn't even begin to define us.

Trash products creating a false economy

 

How does it create a false economy? Surely its just a reflection of what people in that area will buy?

poundland ?

 

And how much will the goods be exactly ? !

[Markstevo 10]

Brilliant ......... keep them shoplifters busy

[Flexo 10]

That's a tricky one - you'd need to ask Poundland themselves.
