MANDI Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 I have just heard that Somerfield at Wadsley Bridge will be closing in the next two weeks. Does anyone know if this is true? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilge Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 Think I read something the other week about there being a big redevelopment of that area planned - to bring it up to more modern retail area type standards. Probably part of that scheme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freaklikeme Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 I heard it was closing after Xmas as that whole area is being redeveloped. It was mentioned that all the outlets on there are shutting, Bingo place, Glyn Webbs etc but I don't know how true that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deepcarowl Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 Took my Grandma shopping there the other week and yes it is closing, everybody in the shop was going on about it. Apparently somebody-No-one seems to know who- Has bought the whole unit (i.e Glyn Webbs as well) to turn it into a big supermarket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesRich Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 Its closing in January. The new development has offered them a site but it will be too small. Its a handy shop to pop too after work, but the older people of the area will be most effected as Somerfield does home delivery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vini Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 is this the place just up from fletchers? if so thats a bit crap, that's our local shop really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesRich Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 does this mean the whole site including gala comet and halfords Gala is staying but the other units will be bulldozed and re-built. As far as I know, the existing units will be offered a new unit once it has been built Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelcityowl Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 Thought i heard a whisper of 'Tescos'. Anythings got to better than what currently stands there. Looking on Google earth, the site has a lot of potential and is fairly large. Fingers crossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duvell Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 What ever happened to the superbowl site? As for the redevelopment, i'm all for it - be good to have something similar to Meadowhall Retail Park over this side of Sheffield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
