mart Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 Just heard Fitzwilliam Rd store is closing in Rotherham on 16th Oct. Is this a sign of things to come. Any closing in Sheffield? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zinger549 Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 They have several other stores in Rotherham, and are planning to open more stores in the near future so I doubt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeHasRisen Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 (edited) Companies always assess their estates, the one at Meadowhall Retail Park closed years ago, they havent gone bust since have they? Wetherspoons are closing 32 of their pubs but still looking to open in new places (such as Wetherby) as an example. Cut the dead wood. Aldi have just overtaken Morrisons to become the 4th biggest supermarket by market share, I believe. They arent going anywhere anytime soon.

geared Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 Lidl have also closed or relocated a number of stores, but are looking to open 30 or so new ones in the next 1-2 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, there is one at Masbro and one that is near Parkgate retail park. Someone on another forum mentioned the profits going back to Germany. I like Aldi whereever it is. I spend a lot more there than I do in Tesco extra. I hope Aldi stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeHasRisen Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 (edited) Assuming they pay the relevant taxes on their British profits then I couldnt care less where the profits went afterwards tbh. Edited October 7, 2022 by HeHasRisen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Cid Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 Is this the cheapest way to set up new retail? It seems strange to allow something like this, we have building regulations for a reason. How do the neighboring retail outlets feel about this? I don't know the area. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-south-yorkshire-63219916?at_campaign=64&at_custom4=5FD470F4-49F1-11ED-90B0-FA8D96E8478F&at_custom1=link&at_medium=custom7&at_custom2=facebook_page&at_custom3=Regional+BBC+Yorkshire+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
