no way, woolies is useful. waitrose can fuck off - that'd put a lot of local shops out of business
i assume there's supposed to be a 'k' or three noughts after those figures....Does anyone know what M&S make in a week? I would assume they own the property their store is on. I know Iceland is on Golfrate land but don't know how much their rent is, but they do take £250 a week. Sainsburys makes £140 a week and pay £18 a month rent.
people like golfrate have a vested interest in increasing retail rents in brixton - which favours large chains and fucks off local businesses. look at the shops like Robbills which used to be where sainsburys/footlocker are now - how could they ever compete?
The Brixton woolies site isn't suitable for a large supermarket - no parking. A Primark, now thats a different kettle of fish.......
I'm not sure that actually makes sense. There's no particular reason that a large chain can pay more rent - unless they sell more stuff. And that really comes down to how good they are at their business. There are plenty of smal businesses locally which are doing very well - the Wing Tai, the Portuguese butchers, the Portuguese deli and lots of the cafes would spring to mind as obvious examples.
true. But i bet the rents went up when they redeveloped that bit of the high street. the question is - do we want a clone town of big retail chains with little or no diversity of local businesses? and if a large supermarket moved in, who's to say that Wing Tai et al wouldn't suffer? unless there's some of protection, i reckon in 10 years time that central brixton could be indistinguishable from any other high street in the uk.I'm not sure that actually makes sense.

Spotted some Golfrate signs up in Walworth this week as well.

Waitrose has already bought three Woolworths sites around London. I don't think Golfrate will care either way if they can afford the rent or not. Woolworths is struggling anyway and the credit crunch does not help.
And then look at how Brixton has changed over the years. Majority of local residents probably won't shop there, but then I know at least three other people who live in Brixton that have properties worth more than a million pounds. There is quite a number of people in Brixton who will shop there that are city based workers that pass through or live in the area. So the market is definatly there for them. But yes, they will be in direct competition with M&S.
I wonder if some of the bigger retail chains might provide some footfall that then goes into the market. Especially if they're not competitive (particularly not food).
Ah FFS (sad smilie)I heard that they now own Bradys.

Hmmm, so property in Brixton is funding Hezbollah?!http://angola.usembassy.gov/consmess1112012.html
I don't check into this site much but Golfrate etc have been causing some confusao in Luanda this year...
