Building work on the 70,000 square foot supermarket is progressing well. On schedule to complete in the early part of 2012. The Tesco superstore was thwarted last year by negotiations to relocate an energy substation that was present on the land. Tesco wants to offer those in the town centre choice where they grocery shop.
Tesco claims the new store will create around 240 jobs for local people. It’s good news for local employment and the local economy. It’s also convenient for the locals who prefer a grocery store on their “doorstep” than Sainsbury’s or ASDA.
The building works has been causing significant disruption to traffic on the Quay Street round-a-bout as the new ‘traffic easing’ road system is constructed. And how will it affect food markets and town centre shops already in existence?
Will Tesco be taking customers away from the markets and smaller town centre food shop or is it appealing to an entirely different customer base? One thing it will do is bring more people to the town centre – but will they stay and take a look around other shops too?
