Nearly 2years now and still empty and my redundancy penny’s have run out so back on the job hunt would make a great shop for some company

has Any of this been report to police etc

There’s already 2 card shops in hightstreet I thought and said before wen was talk if posty closing that the coop should have incorporated one inside during there refit

From the outside toys r us sure is bigger than coop and with the parking a more sensible choice, must be someone out there who wants the old coop and takes out that stupid false wall coop built making shopfloor smaller

Seen planning for new Aldi in old toys r us site

With forest hill coop closing wouldn’t put past them to buy and open another coop as have seen smaller ones

The lights remain on as a deterrent for anyone to break in / squatters. They would remain visible day and night. Additionally the cost to evict vs cost of energy is a factor. Its much cheaper to leave the lights on. Not sure wat people wouldn’t break into a shop that’s been empty since March 17 jus ...

I think an Iceland would do good after a good refit and open up floor space back to original size, great frozen range and grocery range which is getting better.

Went past old coop/budgens Sunday and noticed lights are finally off!! Not sure if because someone actual turned off or electric cut off as no one really cares about shop !! Come on owners sort out a good site !

Always wonder wat these idiots parents think the kids are up too as with no helmets on I guess no insurance or even a licence? But also if they crash wat do they think will happen to there heads same as the idiots who drive quads which are not the most stable bikes!! Come on Lewisham use your cctv ...

Does anyone know if it’s defantly old coop site or Bell green? Not sure Sydenham really needs more cheap stuff and there range of fresh foods is now we’re near good enough .they might have a good range of dry goods but without a fresh range or bws, cigs or even fresh bread it will be worse than bud ...

Job centre site!! I’ll have to ask again about portacabin site again as think was only hearsay from coop staff.

Hope your right as so many people didn’t like budgens and espically it’s crap it sold. And also Poundstretcher as far as I know don’t stock bws , cigs or have fresh bakery so would be a shame to use the old coop/budgens. Also heard coop are wanting to build new shop in forest hill (old portacabin sit ...

Sure I heard somewere that Sainsbury’s own the land and no food retailer allowed to open but maybe mistaken

Well it’s defo Sydenham south east London!! So keep eye out.

Hope so as budgens was bad enough! Thanks for quick response

Just been looking throu jobsites and came across store mangers job for Sydenham Poundstretcher !!! Really ? Anyone hear anything

After working there for so many years I agree with you that coop should take it back on but there previous refit ruined the shop floor layout make a false wall resulting in silly size aisles and replacing fridges with smaller ones which resulted in less shelf space etc also kiosk/tills was wrong but ...

Just gone past old coop/budgens and people inside and lorry along side !! Any ideas

Was told many times Co-op don’t like the high rent and just didn’t make enough money. But I spent nearly 30 years in that shop and if they did a better refit and sorted out their range and delivery’s it could work but still think m/s food hall will win if Aldi not interested
