There's been quite a rapid scaling down of Sainsbury's operations in Hull recently. A couple of months back they announced the closure of 2 Locals, and today another 3 are being lined up for closure.

Ever since they acquired Jackson's, Hull's always had a disproportionate number of Locals to its ...

From the Alliance takeover until last year we had the odd situation of two Boots being across the road from each other, surely that wins.

My local moved from a huge purpose built shed to a small subdivided former PC World a few months before the rebrand. The retail park it moved from was unfortunate enough for two of its three other tenants to be Maplin and one of the American Golf stores that was disposed when they went into ...

Debenhams seem to be rebranding.

Pure speculation, but could B&M be looking to phase out the Heron brand shortly? The Heron careers site is now dual branded as Heron Foods and, interestingly, “B&M Express” - the replacement brand perhaps? The non-food sections of the stores are growing every time I visit, with B&M style price ...

Most of the syndicated content for the other stations comes from Key 103, doesn’t it? So I do wonder what will happen when they rebrand. Surely they local stations won’t be carrying most the new stations programmes, as otherwise they’ll be repeating most of the content available on the new national ...

Just been to Toby Carvery today, and it looks like they're keeping regular Pepsi in the refills machine. 20p extra, and it's mentioned in the menu the extra cost is due to the sugar tax- so it looks like that's their policy. Clearly the fact it's self-serve where you can't properly regulate who ...

Speaking of Steinhoff, first Pep&Co and now a (somewhat strange) integration of Bensons into Poundland, stretching the multi-price format to new levels. Wonder if they’ll go full “Big W” style in the future and start flogging Harvey’s sofas alongside their vibrating love rings?

The Walmart sunburst seems have vanished from Asda's logo in adverts run over the last week or two. Have they got rid of it?


They've now disappeared from their social media profile pictures. I also recently saw a picture of a new product in their 'great shape' range featuring a sun-less Asda ...

Fresh&Easy looked more like a current Tesco Metro store than that.

Looks brilliant, I hope they roll it out fairly quickly, my nearest Extra is now 7 years old and looks totally knackered - although that's clearly a local issue; Hull St. Stephens is of the same vintage and has an extremely ...

Are the calendars at Krispy Kreme (sorry, Cream) set two days in advance?
