Asda,_Dalgety_Bay,_Nov_2008_-_geograph.org.uk_-_1045503.jpg


Summary

Description
English: Asda got out out of bed early? To take this photo? Yes.

A dawn photo of one of the local purveyors of weekly necessities. The property holding arm of Asda bought this industrial area in Dalgety Bay for just under £9m earlier this year from Stockland Halladale who in turn snapped up the 11.7 acre site for under £2m from BAE Systems in 2005. Asda occupy about half the area on the site of the former John Sutcliffe building. That's a nice return in my book. Seems a hefty price for industrial land though. Good for Asda/Halladale that the Council didn't listen to the local objections and allowed it through on appeal. However it's here now and it is being used. Tesco seems just as busy as ever. Is it just me or has the addition of competition not resulted in any savings in your purse either? If anything it's had the opposite. Bah!

Waitrose or Sainsbury would have worked very well in this area methinks.
