A few which haven't been mentioned:
Braggs - taken over by Greggs
Pizzaland - taken over by Pizza Hut
Escom - 90s computer store, probably killed off by online retailing
Pizzaland became Bella italia. Now some of those are closing.
Bargain Booze has been around here for at least 40 years. It was originally in one of the Kwik Save 'sheds'.
Our Coop closed this week.
