Spar has closed for a major refurbishment this week.
Last night I forgot the date and went in after work for a pint of milk, and the cooler cabinets were already empty (though someone was buying a bottle of wine).
This evening there are lorries from Yorkshire, taking advantage of the closure of Belmont Road for the water pipes to park at the top of the road without any danger of other traffic trying to pass them (though I suppose there might be one or two cars trying to get in and out of Carlesgate). As I passed, a sort of forklift on caterpillar tracks was lifting a cooler unit into the back of one of the lorries.
It'll be interesting to see how much they change the layout of the store - I remember when the present shelves went in, and it seemed more cramped than the previous layout, though everyone got used to it pretty quickly.
