Stock and fittings currently going into the old M&Co shop opposite Waitrose. Looks like another Allworths/Well Worth It type outlet. Apparently it's a small chain and they have a 12-month lease on it.

I have been told it is to be a Poundland store.

our spending habits build our shopping opportunities. ie: we get the shops we have proven ourselves to deserve.

It would be interesting to know the rent that they are paying, even on a short-term lease. I believe that it was £75k pa + rates when Methuens pulled out.

I imagine it was a great deal more than £75k as that was the asking rate for the Cancer research unit.

The asking rent was 90K, same as the old woolworths

Having had a look through the window this morning its not quite a poundland but looks more like an outlet shop such as the ones you'd find at the Galleria (but smaller). Looks like they're hoping to exploit the Xmas market from what I saw.

I hope they do see the contract through to completion instead of closing after Christmas. There was a place a year or two back which opened only over the Christmas period where Harts of Hertford now is. It's a shame when places like that take money from shops which add to the town.

Well, the window display of boxes of washing powder and bleach bottles is certainly top quality. Made me quite nostalgic for the Cross and Palmer car battery display and tins of Cossack in Hair Line's window.

Well, I'm liking not having to trudge all the way to Focus for cheap DIY supplies...

There is no name on the shop - but the receipt I got from them had Circle7 at the top. Circle 7 was in the shop in the Howard Centre WGC that is now Sports Direct.

I went in there on Saturday. I was looking for an obscure video connection cable that Albany couldn't provide me with. This new shop had the appropriate cable and quite a large selection of others.

Are they ever going to have heating in the shop? Its colder in there than outside
