Tescos Development


Recommended Posts

It would be nice to have a Sainsbury or a Waitrose in the town. Contrary to popular belief both of these stores prices compare very well with Tesco in a lot of instances.

Sainsbury? Perhaps, but Waitrose? Ho ho, I doubt many people of Bedlington would fit their demographic. There are branches at Jesmond, Hexham, Ponteland, and Newcastle city centre - all areas with people with high disposable income. Durham Waitrose had to close because out of term time when the students had gone home, there weren't enough customers to make it profitable.

Ah, Waitrose! When I lived in London there was a Waitrose nearby and what a pleasant experience it was to shop there. Wide aisles, fully-stocked racks of fresh fruit & veg, and excellent selection of speciality olive oils, oh, and the staff were well presented and friendly. But, but, but, best of all ... there were no morbidly obese shell-suit wearing folk towing their unruly/noisy brats along with trolleys full of crisps, cakes, pies and sliced bread; you most certainly knew you weren't in Tesco.
