i hope for accys sake they build a morrisons, tesco has gone right down in my estimations,morrisons is a lot cheaper,i dont think blackburn should have as many supermarkets as it has,asda,tesco,morrisons.lidl,aldi,netto..its getting beyond a joke

The nearest morrisons is blackburn town centre.

So the obvious choice for smart money would be on sainsbury's as the nearest one to here is in Clitheroe I believe. Sainsbury's also do a lot of different stuff too asdas so that would be a good thing too.

Is Clitheroe nearer than Burnley ?

Suppose which part of Accy you live in lancsdave .. I find it a piece of cake going to either Asda/Tesco/Sainsburys in Burnley, straight down M65 from Clayton... 10 mins at most, not much difference really, and larger stores. Citheroe takes a little longer and quite small, but adequate.
I feel should be Sainsburys as they do have different types of products, and give us a better choice.(Would save Cashman asking directions too ..

). I would have voted for none, but realise there are lots of people who don't have transport.

well if they do build a new supermarket think of the the jobs it will give!

tesco wud love to cut into asda monopoly here - only thing is the lack of space for one of their customery HUGE stores which are awesome. there's places i've seen a tesco express less than .5mile away from a tesco extra! so havin an express here isnt really much of a concern

personally i dont think anyone wud really care abou the spot - its too small to have a healthy sized store to rival asda

what they shud do with that space is make a nice big go karting track there where i can bankrupt myself

or another pound shop.

By the way seeing as we've got Tesco's and Asdas how about a Sainsburys?

Accy outdoor market is murder now. Two people with prams stop to shop at opposite stalls and other people just can't get past. There's not enough room to casually stroll by and browse which would lead to spontaneous purchases.

its on the main road towords burnley at traffic lights from town centre carnt miss it its massive

madmal_1 · 22-12-2006, 16:08

Thats news to me and my niece works there. Also it said in the Free Press a couple of months ago that Tesco says that they are keeping both of them open.
