Mr Darn Posted September 2, 2007 Report Posted September 2, 2007 I've heard that Tesco are taking possession of a sizeable property in Bedlington. i heard it was taking over somerfield and the old co-op building...
Cympil Posted September 3, 2007 Report Posted September 3, 2007 I hope it`s not more rumours..we could do with a Tesco here.I`d rather have a Tesco than a Wetherspoons anyday!
Blank Posted September 3, 2007 Report Posted September 3, 2007 If it was true that Tesco was going to open up a store in Bedlington, it would have been in the papers and everyone would know about it. But if it did happen, it wouldnt be a big store, it would just be a corner shop type Tesco.
Monsta® Posted September 3, 2007 Report Posted September 3, 2007 see theres a tesco at the moor house farm round about! its definitly on the way!

Denzel Posted September 3, 2007 Report Posted September 3, 2007 I hope it`s not more rumours..we could do with a Tesco here.I`d rather have a Tesco than a Wetherspoons anyday!You assmunch.
Blank Posted September 5, 2007 Report Posted September 5, 2007 It's true: Tescos IS coming to Bedlington - and very soon!Has anyone seen the notice in the window?I know someone who's going to be working on the job of clearing out Somerfield and then doing it up again ready for Tesco. He said they have put the rent up on the Greggs shop a hell of a lot so Greggs is considering re-locating. Also, they actually own the E3 premesise and rent is also being increased there. Apparently they have offered money to the owner of the bed shop behind Somerfield too, but the bloke who owns the shop says he isnt moving.Somerfield will be closed by the 22nd September and Tescos should be open by the 14th October. Cant wait!
Hamburger Pimp Posted September 5, 2007 Report Posted September 5, 2007 Whoop-de-doo and praise the Lord! Good old Tesco are coming to town. Two established shops are being driven out of their premises before Tesco even arrives in town. More local businesses will go to the wall due to Tesco's ruthless business methods.Still, at least Cympil and Blank will be able to buy some three quid tesco bomber jeans, so that's alright.Every Little Hurts

I`m glad they`re closing,the greedy bast*rds What`s bomber jeans anyway,i`ve never heard of them? Are you not getting mixed up with a bomber jacket?

HP might be stirring it but he is right about the other smaller shops who haven't a hope in hell of compeating against the buying power and business practices of Tesco and if the size of the thing is correct just about every business in the town will be affected coz it must be going to be a superstore.It is about time one of the big boys recognised the strategic place Bedlington holds, pity WDC never did!
Blank Posted September 6, 2007 Report Posted September 6, 2007 No way is it going to be a superstore. I've been to the one in Kingston Park a few times - now thats a superstore! Good riddence to Somerfield and it's over priced !*!@#. Their fruit and veg is almost always poor quality. Dont worry Cympil, HP is just a bit worried about how far he'll have to travel from now on to get his Greggs fatty pies! Poor thing.

They can close the whole Front Street for me,the only place i use is the Post Office and when the little shops all close,all the people that are out of a job can go to Tescos and get a one

More local businesses will go to the wall due to Tesco's ruthless business methods.Anyway, what are you going on about?Most established shops left 5 year ago! Tesco coming to Bedlington could help the town. People from Cramligton, Morpeth, Blyth and Ashington will now have a reason for coming to Bedlington. Wont this encourage businesses to set up here?Wether Tesco comes or not - it's our fault that small shops close and move away. If you dont want them to go then use them.Stop blaming Tesco, Bedlingtons been a dump for years!

Their pasties contain real meat,unlike Greggs

Monsta® Posted September 6, 2007 Report Posted September 6, 2007 Only notice in the window is one stating that the area is under surveillance via CCTV.no the other store!! who honestly goes to E3? and greggs stinks! so no loss there then apart from the body fat people will lose from not going there! and any way tesco has it's own bakery much nicer than greggs! i say hurray to tesco think of all the extra trade for bedlington!!! and at last bedlington has something ashington or newbiggin doesn't! so they can keep there crap statues etc !
Big_Geordie Posted September 6, 2007 Report Posted September 6, 2007 Yup - I concur with Tesco in Bedlington being only a good thing. Perhaps it'll be the kick up the !*!@# which the Front Street has needed for many years.....
