When the large TESCO and ASDA superstores arrived in the town, this small supermarket in Stirling Street was under threat of closure, but it has survived for now. There is also a small Iceland supermarket and an Aldi store in the town. The supermarket was closed and re-opened as b&m bargain store on 30th september 2010. See Image
