Tim1 Â Â 10 #86 Posted June 17, 2017 Spot on! Nothing wrong with discount shops I love going in to buy sweets lol, but when places like retail parks get flooded with them, they just become stagnated.. Â There is basically the same items in them I find. They are useful though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Yorkshire 53 Â Â 10 #89 Posted June 20, 2017 Due to on-line shopping, it's looking like the days of the Malls are numbered. Check the videos on 'Abandoned Malls' on You Tube. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Tim1 Â Â 10 #90 Posted June 20, 2017 So there are now 2 empty units. Aldi and Betta Living. I was told but it could be hear say that the co-op travel would be closing. They have already closed a few other branches of the same chain in sheffield/Chesterfield area. This would make a 3rd empty unit. We use to shop at the Aldi but now use the Iceland (food warehouse). What would other people like to see in the empty units? Is there any shops sheffield is missing? Â Confirmed today the Co-op travel closes a week on Saturday. 7 out of the 9 members made redundant with the other 2 relocated to Rotherham.

Wazzock   10 #92 Posted June 21, 2017 Due to on-line shopping, it's looking like the days of the Malls are numbered. Check the videos on 'Abandoned Malls' on You Tube.  I've watched a few of these, they're all in the US, where there were way too many malls to start with during a mad expansion in the 60s and 70s Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
haddy   10 #93 Posted June 21, 2017 Confirmed today the Co-op travel closes a week on Saturday. 7 out of the 9 members made redundant with the other 2 relocated to Rotherham.  Nationally most of these will shut in the next 12 months. The Meadowhall one was announced back end of last year and was one of the first on the list to go. Cost of the building vs performance etc affected a lot of the decision factors. Eventually the likely hood is that they will all close Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
