Fred the shred Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 As I say Gladys the Onchan one is next door to the sheltered accommodation and the pensioners can walk there, however if Nelly is correct and I truly hope she is it will be fine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't think of many places where the whole country is within 10 miles of a superstore. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People seem to think that everyone should get a superstore on their doorstep. Its not possible. Anywhere in the world. There are remote village and towns all over where folks have to travel and the same 'unfairness' applies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swoopy2110 Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 They've said that all the 'Express' stores are going to be open before TT week. Onchan is not closing until after TT week. I really doubt Onchan is going to be an express. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Wright Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 As I posted above, not all will be done before TT. Work and closures are being staggered so that all ex Shoprite stores will be open over TT. Onchan is too small to be a superstore, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The comparison should not be with Lake Road but with Shoprite's previous offering. Will the Onchan Tesco, whether an Express or Superstore, be better when measured against Shoprite? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As an able bodied customer with access to a vehicle YOU can make a choice. Lots can’t. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emesde Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 No where in the world does everyone live within a few yards of a major store. But in the case of the Island I believe there is all Island delivery available. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would it not have been a Grand Gesture to the Islands population??? All Island rates, all Island taxes, should we have regional taxes??? Come on Tesco level your prices up!
