No surprise there I suppose . It was scheduled to be doubled in size because it was to quote my old mother GRHS - "Neither nowt nor Summat" and once that was shelved it was doomed

Netto is an interesting one because the Tesco at Thorne has been shelved and I heard a rumour a while back (even before the Tesco official announcement) that Netto were having the Site

It may make some sense because Netto and Sainsburys are supposedly in cahoots and Thornes only "real" Supermercado is ..... Sainsbury's

Whats that supermarket next door to the pet shop in the green? Coop?

Incidently, the CoOp in Dunscroft is closing and moving to the new units where the Abbey pub once stood and they are changing to an 7-11 convenience store

Netto have already opened a new store in Doncaster, somewhere down Thorne Rd

I'm a bit surprised the Church View Tesco is going, the car park always seems very full there. I suppose it's whether or not people are actually going in and doing a big shop or just getting a few things so they can park in town.

I see Mexborough Tesco is also for the chop.

Tesco Church View closing is a bit of a blow for the town centre.

There is already the old art school building (a lovely building by the way) which has been converted into a business centre but looks mostly empty, now the large Tesco site will be empty next to it.

A bit of urban regeneration is going to be required I think. It's right next to the canal, with a bit of imagination and a lot of money there could be an opportunity to open up the waterfront and do something with it.

Netto are in the old Dunhelm building near B & M

Is it the Church View or Balby Superstore that's for the chop though?

Church View and Mexborough

Not totally surprised at the Donny one I think very few used to do "proper shops" in there more a case of just popping in for odds and sods.

The car park was always full because of people going into the town and using the 2 hours free parking

Definitely Church View going. The other superstore in town is Edenthorpe. They'll still have that along with a few Express stores and One Stop stores in the town.

As above, Netto has been brought back in a 50-50 partnership with Sainssbury's. As they already have one store in the town I can't see them opening another yet as they are in early stages of experimenting with stores serving various demographics as they refine their retail proposition.

Aldi or Lidl in the town centre would be a decent bet for that site. It's about the right size for one of them. Alternatively it could be prime land for redevelopment into restaurant/leisure.

[River Don]

I would think Tesco would be reluctant to sell a prime site like that to a discount competitor such as Aldi/Lidl/Netto.

[jucyberry]

A lot of jobs lost in one area. Poor buggers. I feel for them all. 

[knockers]

Let's be right here guys. The church view Tesco has to be the dirtiest most unappealing food shop on the planet and deserves to be shut

What is going in to Thorne industrial park then, next to M18?

A pub I think

Proof if ever I needed it ... nobody reads my posts ! This "gem" (from me) is about 4 inches above your question

www.thornepark.co.uk is all you need but this cuts to the chase !

The Pub I am sure you might know is Marstons Kings Chambers and is well underway. Tesco has wimped out of course and so the future of the Petrol Station is in the balance

The 2 Drive through units are McDonalds and KFC was rumoured to be the other .... open Retail Brochure at the bottom

Does anyone know what's happening with the Thorne park industrial estate then?

I will experiment and say I will buy a Pint for anybody in the new Pub on opening day wearing a Rovers Shirt between 11.00 and 11.01 and see if anyone notices !

Whens opening day?

[Donnywolf]

S**t ... you have me now ! I was pretending there to be on Mastermind and my chosen specialist subject ... Thorne Retail Park

Seriously I don't know but the Pub is flying along ... roof now fully on  ... windows in ... and lit inside so can be worked on whatever the weather. I reckon the name will be going up soon. Website references new Pub and there were adverts on Fence for local staff recently

This is how it looked about a 2 weeks ago

[Sprotyrover]

Do we have to talk to you once we have our Pints

[Monkcaster_Rover]

This has been coming for a while. Tesco have been struggling for ages. These days more people are shopping at your Audis and Lidls etc. Having worked at the Tesco in Edenthorpe you could see from behind the scenes how tight the finances were.

[Yargo]

Sounds like Cooplands are in the shit http://www.doncasterfreepress.co.uk/news/business/exclusive-hundreds-of-jobs-at-risk-at-cooplands-1-7080550

The fact that Tesco and the other big supermarkets are struggling is laughable. What are the bosses of these companies playing at? They haven't got a clue.

It is very easy to regain market share. All they have to do is have a product that matches the product in the likes of Aldi and sell it cheaper than Aldi. This would soon put the likes of Aldi out of business. People would no longer feel the need to buy what they can from Aldi and get the rest from Tesco. By adopting this strategy they would still make a load of money because most people are brand snobs and will still keep buying the expensive products. People would only need to do one lot of shopping.

They would also attract the people that do all their shopping at Aldi who would also buy more products because the range is far greater at Tesco.

If any of the movers and shakers behind these big supermarkets want it sorting then leave me a private message and I'll get back to you.

[River Don]

It the very fact Aldi has limited number of lines that makes it a more efficient retailer. Smaller stores and less complicated distribution. Tesco can't match that without a fundamental reassessment of their model. Aldi also work on smaller margins, it's something they can do more easily than Tesco because they are a family owned business, meaning they can plan for the longer term more easily. Tesco have shareholders to satisfy.

Aldi are the most efficient large scale retailer on the planet and in most western nations they have a bigger presence than they do in the UK. I'd say they have considerable scope for growth which will put the UK stores under continued pressure for sometime.

That's where I come in. The buying power of Tesco blows Aldi out of the water. What I'd do is divide their existing large stores into two. On the left there would be all the cheaper products that Aldi sell and on the right would be all the expensive stuff. If you like a small store and limited lines then just shop in the left hand side.

Sorted.
