There will be a new Tescos in the area in May


I went to that delightful town of Hungerford today and noticed that the big Somerfield supermarket has a closing down sale. I did some checking and discovered that it will be re-opened in May by Tesco. (see http://www.newburytoday.co.uk/News/Article.aspx?articleID=9452). I believe that Somerfield also own/operate one of the 2 petrol stations in the town.

Now, if Tesco are moving to Hungerford, why would they also want to move to Marlborough? Do we know if Tesco really did look at the Salisbury Road site or was it simply Crown Estates/Carter Jonas trying to soften us up for having development on that land? Perhaps they did enquire but were only exploring it as a fall-back in case the Hungerford deal fell through.

Interesting times but I suspect we may have to wait a while longer for a "budget" supermarket in the town.

Tesco outbid waitrose for the Hungerfoed store........they also have as many as 5 outlets in some towns so Marlborough is a target for them .....they are so big that if they say they are coming to the town it's almost a done deal
