High Street retail investment in action


Tons of concrete being poured into the High Street Co-op. Just across the road shopfitters were busy working late too in the former DE shoe shop that is soon to become a Red Cross Charity Shop.

    There is the 'metric ton'.

    Maybe the Gurn is just being up to date and factual in it's reporting (as per usual)

    Try and keep up to speed people

    Concerning that in other towns such as Tain and Huntly co-op has invested in its town centre stores heavily and closed its lagrer store. With lidl on the horizon are they planning a similarcontaction? It may make business sense.

    Have to agree with the above post. With a revamped high St store, Sainsburys, Lidl and Home Bargains the bigger store seems irrelevant. Coop sit nicely in the convenience niche, they have struggled to compete on a larger scale.

    Re Anon @1.20pm, maybe the big co-op could sell up to Lidl now, it would save Lidl building a new store.
