I think I'll avoid finding out.

Pretty sure the non-franchised ones have the same pricing as larger Waitrose.

This literally just means they are taking money, which is different to making money.

The Arena one in Sheffield also seems to be becoming a Wendy's. Think the Crystal Peaks one is still going tho. I've always had really good food from the Blackpool one, love their batter. Tasty Plaice is another Fish & Chip chain which seems to be clinging on to dear life having opened in every...

Subway up my end went from 4 locations down to none (there is still one listed on the Subway website but it's long been closed). I also note that the formerly burgeoning Papa's Fish and Chips has cut back locations quite a bit (down to just seven now). One of the most recent closures is in Whitby, ...

The only loyalty programme I am part of is my Subcard at Subway (Its not a physical card, its an app), as I only really go to Subway for fast food, but the prices there are pretty stable right now, and they have been alright with offering deals on certain items. Really? I paid £8 for a breakfast fo...

I'll nip along to Long Eaton and report in when I can. It's already one of the nicer Asdas around here, and we often pop in to the Company Shop in town too. The Post have beat me to it: https://www.nottinghampost.com/whats-on/shopping/gallery/asda-unveils-upgrades-long-eaton-9462945 (Spoilers: it's...

McDonald's to 'rethink' prices after sales fall https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c728313zkrjo I thought this was quite an interesting story - i don't eat too many mcdonalds (and can't say i ever have - it's one of those things which sometimes fills a hole on a long journey but other than that no...

I'm quite enjoying seeing the McDonaldland characters back again (though my wife, who has a phobia of Grimace, isn't so much) - but is anyone going to mention the fact that the business is 84 years old, and it's only the 50th birthday of their first UK store? I'm pretty sure everyone knows McDonald...

They're fitting out a new Sainsbury's Local between Shoreditch and Liverpool St, or at least I think it should be a Local as it seems to have no depth, but the signs in the windows so far are suggesting it's just "Sainsbury's". Possible phasing out of the Local brand? It did make me wonde...

Was asked about potential new 'Nectar Price' SEL designs in a survey: https://up.metropol247.co.uk/scottishtv/2406_nectar_sel_designs.png I believe this is to allow the introduction of esels - at the moment the use of Nectar purple on the ticket itself is a blocker. In what way? Are those plastic c...
