Savvy Supermarkets
Tuesday 21st May 2024
I note that ASDA is proposing to build a Park Royal supermarket with 1500 homes in tow, joining forces with Barratt Homes.
About time too. It makes total sense.
John Lewis is trying a similar thing in Bromley but really ought not to, as it has neglected its core business and, could end up going under if they do not get back their retail Mojo.
For many years, my poor long-suffering wife has had to listen to me exclaim at the wasted opportunity, as we crawl past the tired old Tesco behind Lambeth Town Hall in Brixton- just three mins walk from the Tube.
It is currently a single-storey shop with a stupidly large car park next to it.
These days, as a trendy suburb, there is no end to demand for housing in Brixton. Even with a hefty dollop of social housing as a tithe, Tesco’s could clean up.
We need more supermarkets to assess their inventories and build housing over their stores.
Unless you tell me otherwise!
Until next time………
