There's money to be made in Coffee.... which reminds me of story..... Quite a few years back I was sitting in the LGW departures area bar and struck up a conversation a Ghanaian who was on his way home Ghana having been to meetings with various coffee bean buyers. The conversation lasted about an hour and he covered issues like planting, growing and processing etc until I thought I would ask if he liked coffee.... "can't stand the stuff, I'll have tea over coffee every time", came the reply! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Wright Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 The first of the new Tesco stores on the Island is due to open on Thursday 15 February in Castletown. The Tesco Express, (former Little Shoprite) on Arbory Street, will open at 8am. Its normal opening hours will be 7am to 10pm Monday to Sunday. So that is an hour earlier and an hour later than when it was Shoprite. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any update on whether they'll be selling off old Shoprite bought stuff at Tesco prices? 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheTeapot Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 (edited) Bit ambitious opening at 7am in Castletown. According to the sign they're going to do it on a Sunday too. Sunday mornings in Castletown are dead. I really like them. Anyway, I'm very glad it'll be open soon, it's actually been a much bigger pain in the ass than anticipated.
