Such sad news
Nice bananas.
It was bound to happen, that freezer shop has ruined the square, too big , no paper shop now, no chemist, what purpose is it to go to the square, this is Greed and stupidity by Gedling BC, we needed a pound shop or something similar , the car park is seldom half full, no footfall means no customers for the shops, you have to hand it to Gedling Council for allowing this to happen, Gedling Council have never been any good.
Does anyone know where there is a Greengrocer now?
There’s one in Hereford.
This was a great shop. Sold things I can’t get anywhere else e.g. Seville oranges for marmalade. Also brilliant for people who only want small amounts of things – not everybody wants a 2kg bag of potatoes. Will be much missed. We’re always being told to shop local and support small businesses. How are we supposed to do that when there are no shops to meet our needs?
