Get down to market
• I READ with interest that the Angel branch of Woolworths is about to be turned into a new branch of Waitrose, as I’m looking forward to the change (Upmarket move as Waitrose ousts Woolies, June 27).
Not particularly because it will bring another food store to that part of Angel – we’ve got Sainsbury’s, M&S and Iceland all within yards of each other already. (Although I am hoping it gives Sainbury’s a kick up the backside to improve its standards of service. I’m sick of the constant Tannoy announcements apologising for queues at the checkouts. Why don’t they put more staff on then?)
I very much hope it will shift all the ex-Woolies shoppers, looking for toys, hardware and all the other stuff Woolies sold, onto Chapel Market itself. This market is a fantastic facility for the community, and I love spending time shopping there – not just the stalls themselves but the shops that sit behind them. I’m sure it’s no great coincidence that the market has featured in two series of The Apprentice, to challenge the teams on good salesmanship.
To those worried about the loss of Woolworths, I urge you to get down to Chapel Market and get spending your money on the plethora of goods for sale – whether a pound of potatoes or a new double bed!
