The supermarket by Penn Road/Marston Road was built for Safeway in the early 1980s(?), and was taken over by Morrison's in February 2004. Within a year or so Morrison's were forced to sell it on to Waitrose because of "competition regulation" laws. In September 2020 it was announced that the store would be closing on 31 December, and would be operated by Tesco from early 2021. Tesco re-opened the doors on 30 June 2021. Waitrose had a very clear and easy to read fuel price board. Tesco decided not to. The prices are 129·9/130·9 for petrol/diesel. I passed by on a bus on 16 September, and still could not see the price. Whoever designed this is a fool, more interested in brand colour co-ordination than clear signage. Image]
