the major chain are on the brink of opening a fast food outlet in limekiln street, complete with 4 drive through car washes.
seems well placed to do well, besides the through traffic there is megger, aycliffe business centre and the wedding cake that should provide them with plenty of business.

The garage has a amazing trade, the shop is a godsend to the shift workers in the area with a well stocked 24 hour shop and food outlet. Costa and Subway are two major outlets but both are on the expensive side.

Subways are very good food great and the cost of it is low,but will it be the same down there,the costs I mean,might be higher than in the town.

Yes indeed there is a new one coming there Howard and Martin is right the shop is a godsend up there and well stocked. Prices not quite as low as supermarkets but still quite fair, its a SPAR if I remember rightly.
I was in there yesterday getting a few essentials as cupboards were extremely bare after my brief interlude away.. and on the inside the new Subway is already up and running, up and running within the store but not yet on the outside. Looks tasty. Will be very handy when the drive through is open....Not sure what the costs are for Subway Vic but its surely to be competitive so I'll be a customer for sure. Good luck to them.

i think that their prices are standard irrespective of location.
if they are paying more rent and business rates it would be because they will have more custom.

Another grand opening next week is Mascarada up London Road. Anyone in Morrisons on Saturday will have seen some of Louise's Disney costumes that the staff were wearing. I loved the Cruella Deville and the White Rabbit.

I bet a lot of other towns wished they had a many shops opening in such a short period, we must continue supporting our businesses so they can stay open.
Ross, you forgot the new/replacement bookshop on the corner of Biggin Street.
