I, very recently heard a rumour that Waitrose (regain your composure), way way on the wrong side of the tracks, has been investigating the site of the old Rising Sun pub in RUSHEY GREEN!

Top that!

I believe Tesco have got the old DIY shop in Crofton Park...not quite Waitrose. Anyway - another slap in the face to local small business owners.

Now Peter, is this a unfounded rumour or really true? I am getting confused with all these talks of rumours at the moment on these forums.

What about the site of 213-223 Lewisham Way which is supposed to being turned into a Tesco?

It's definitely meant to be Tesco on Brockley Road. On the corner of Sevenoaks Road. Got the info from Graham at Mr Lawrence. He thinks it will be the final straw for his off sales wine business.

I think (hope) Graham is being unduly pessimistic. It will probably be a smallish Tesco with a poor selection and ought not to be able to compete with his range and quality. It may need some effort to rise to the challenge though.
