TrickyTrotter Posted January 31, 2025 Posted January 31, 2025 In the other town centre at Middlebrook, M&S doubling in size by taking over Boots and Empty Wilko shop. Boots relocating to the old Argos shop supposedly. Going to be even busier on match day but generally good news with an extra 100 jobs. Quote
