like you said theyre taking over we only have 1 asda in this area and iver never seen another one on my travels anywhere, that must be why asda are so cheap - they dont waste theyre money on more new staff and ever more stores.
we have 1 big tesco's extra, and another big one being built on the previous site of B&Q (we now have a NEW B&Q which has recently opened - the biggest BnQ in britain ) and we have a tescos extra petrol station/mini store pretty much every half mile from end to end on the top of the town and the bottom lol you cant get away from them!

Re: how many Tescos in your town?
Ilkley has an older large store and a recently opened Express + petrol station. There are plans afoot for Tescos to build a new superstore and close the older one but there has been a lot of protest over it. There are even demonstration videos on youtube!
Those that can, do; and those that can't, talk about it.

Re: how many Tescos in your town?
probably about 20, there are loads of new houses being built in Swindon, and all these new estates get a mini Tesco as their local shop.
North Swindon's ASDA is the biggest supermarket in the UK though - we've got all the best tourist attractions!

taylor5788 :* the largest b&q store in europe is in trafford park, manchester.
really? how big is it in sq/ft? our one is new and was built on the edge of our town and created a whole new "mini-town" in open fields. i think it was something like 190,000 sq/ft...something like that, but is reported (by B&Q in the local paper) to be there biggest store in britain.
170k sq feet or something, still listed on b&q web site and wiki as the biggest, i may be wrong tho, i know last christmas i got lost looking for christmas tree's.

Re: how many Tescos in your town?
on the subject of b&q, is there a petition for a bus service from one end of the store to the other? Certainly feels like that at the Gloucester storebenjfrst :taylor5788 :* the largest b&q store in europe is in trafford park, manchester.
