The past few days have seen the Murco petrol station in Brigg closed while refurbishment is undertaken on the adjoining Costcutter shop/kiosk where drivers go to pay for their fuel. We hope it won't be much longer until the Bridge Street petrol station reopens - the tank is running a bit low.
We'd better explain: We don't like using the Tesco facility - no sweets, no pop, newspapers or other goods being to hand when paying for fuel as there is at Murco/Costcutter. Are Tesco missing a trick?
Fuel for thought:
ReplyDeleteIn the proposed new Tesco, the petrol station will have a manned kiosk.
ps The new Lidl store will open in March/April....thereafter, the old Lidl's building become surplus...not to the Lidl emporium, but to Tesco.
ReplyDeleteDespite the pretence, the present Lidl's site belongs to Tesco, or, at least, a land agent acting on behalf of Tesco.
(BIG CLUEs: Apart from Tesco declaring ownership of the site on the application form for a new store - in normal circumstances, FOR SALE signs would have already been erected on prime site to be vacated, unless the site was already sold.)
It won't be too long now before Tesco announces its long-term intention.....I give it a month.
