Er, is that right Wuluf?

I have been into dozens of these places and most of them have a small bakery, a decent selection of fresh fruit & veg, loads of cheeses, hams and other sliced meats, dairy produce, cakes, ready meals, pastas, off-licence... (this list could go on and on!).

In my opinion they provide an excellent service and can be a good alternative to doing a main weekly shop; and I'd bet that it will prove to be very popular with a good proportion of local people for many years to come.

This store will probably attract more people to use the parade and the increase in footfall may well, in turn, turn the heads of some more serious business people, which could then create a quality and diversity that is needed/craved for this up-and-coming area (he says as someone who's been in SE23 since 1971).
