why not, Meadowhall's gone downhill ever since Primark opened

[chris101 10]

Well it lasted about 2 months last time it was there.

But its gone back uphill since Ladbrokes and Poundland opened.

When was that? I can't ever recall that

I've a very good idea how much the unit leasing rates are, and given where Wilko is at these days, not a chance.

 

And those rates are only likely to go up, if Meadowhall's extension (as recently discussed in the news) gets green-lighted. Then again, given the ongoing retail contraction, I wouldn't count my chickens just yet about seeing that extension built.

This move comes just weeks after Wilko bemoaned a rise in costs as a result of the pound's Brexit-induced collapse.

I hope none of those 4,000 voted for it Edited September 14, 2017 by L00b

Wilko was a bit of a Woolworths killer.

 

ironically, B&M and Home Bargains have become the Wilko killer.

I went into Wilkos yesterday and half of the store is dedicated to Students .

 

I got some right bargains. 50p for a pint glass, £4 for an iron. £2 for a picture frame.

 

Get involved.

Aw bless

 

You're not originally from Sheffield, are you ?

 

It's not aimed at students, but tight-fisted locals who would walk from the city centre to Meadowhall to save 10p on an item

Statistically I'd say about 67.8% of them did (but you already knew that ) but as a significant number of them will be from the EU it's probably a bit less.

 

But I like wilkos though. Cheap without the oppressive misery of Poundland.

They have just opened one in The Metro Centre, Gateshead. It's similar to Meadowhall.

No need to be patronising, especially as you have no idea what youre talking about.

 

If you go into Wilkos on Haymarket then you'll know exactly what i mean. The store has been totally transformed for incoming influx of students. In fact the majority of the 'Point of Sale' signs say STUDENT on them.

 

Im gonna pop in later so i'll take a photo for you
