I was interested if someone knew of a business justification for this, I think I'm safe to assume you can't ?Quote:

They are franchise aren't they? A couple of years ago my local newsagent was done out and fitted with all the Spar signage. It was a big improvement. Better stock, well lit, open longer hours and the staff seemed to have gone on some kind of customer care course. But just a few months later all the branding came down and it pretty much reverted back to how it was, poorly stocked and complete with surly staff.Quote:

Staff have all lost their jobs but have been told a new owner is being sought. Could take months though
In reply to Barry's post:
That's my thinking too. I've been saying for years it was the idea place for such a store, servicing both Rhydlafar (and probably St Fagans) and the busy stream of work traffic to and from the city.
Franchising is a gamble, but a surprise this one doesn't appear to have worked out....
Yeh, I'd noticed the garage had closed too, shame. Especially surprising as the fuel prices were a lot lower than the comedy prices of the previous owner.Quote:
