The co-op has recently acquired the newly built Budgens at Bence Court, Archers Way. Making the number of Co-op stores within Amesbury, 4. The below is taken from a recent new's story from our local newspaper Salisbury Journal. http://www.salisburyjournal.co.uk/news/salisbury/salisburynews/9367439.Co_op_to_take_over_Budgens_stores/ Brian Lochrie, acquisitions manager for the Co-operative in the south west, need's to know that the people of Amesbury do not want another Co-op store. Especially as they have left a derelict building empty within the Amesbury town center for years, easily the biggest eye-sore within the town center. Your current 3 stores are OVERPRICED and UNDERSTOCKED. Please sign this petition if you do not want ANOTHER co-op store within the Amesbury area.
