Maplins in Blackburn

How longs it been there?
I stumbled across it the other day when I was going into Halfords (Because they closed the one in Accy, now Motormania have closed as well - possibly only for refurb) didn't know one had opened in Blackburn, had a quick browse but was in a bit of a rush so didn't see everything

They have also just opened a big store in Preston on the retail park if you go in by the end of the M65

The notice on the doors said closed for refurb but just driven past and noticed the To Let sign up. Another one gone by the look of it
