IMPORTANT PLEASE READ This website and forum has been living on borrowed web server time for years. At the end of this month silsden.net in it's present form will cease to exist, BUT there is a new silsden.net in the making, and a new forum, and lots of exciting new things coming to this space.

Topic : Netto |
|
| photoman |
I was in Netto yesterday and one of the staff told me that the store is due to close at the end of September unless a new buyer can be found. I think everyone thought that Asda, the present owners, would keep it open as a convenience store but the main Asda store is already open 24 hours I believe. The shelves are really empty now with large gaps. It is not like the old Netto was. I know it was like going to a jumble sale at times but I think that was the attraction in that you could find a lot of bargains. I have noticed that Aldi has now got a lot busier and is probably due to the fact that Netto is now running down their stocks. It would be interesting to hear of other peoples views on shopping at Netto and are they sorry that we are losing this store? |

only a rumour but i heard morrisons have bought it, wether to run it or close it i didnt hear. |

Although Asda have bought out Netto, they will have to close it as they are not allowed 2 stores in the same town if they are over a certain amount of square footage. This would also apply to Morrisons. They have bought several Netto from Asda, but they have been mainly in small areas. |

Pity they couldnt move it to Silsden? |

Asda had to seek approval to purchase Netto. Part of the deal was they had to sell some that were near existing Asda's. Keighley being one of those. Some of those were sold to Morrisons and some to UGO which look excatly like Netto www.ugoshopping.net/UGO_online_leaflet/index.html It looks like there are no takers for the Keighley shop. |

The only people who might buy the Netto store as a food store are: Tesco? Lidl - possibly too small Waitrose - wrong type of area a n other - Londis! (other odd balls wishing to expand) All the others are precluded as they already have stores nearby. |

Is it true Asda no longer have to sell the Keighley Netto and it will re-open as a ASDA? |

The Otley Netto has just become an Asda. |

I was in netto yesterday and was talking to one of the staff she said that it would close today for 10 days for refurbishment and that it would reopen. all staff are going to asda for training then back for reopening in october. |

A few months ago the people in Carpetright told me that Tesco were measuring up the empty units on the site (bowling alley and what was MFI). |

I guess now Harrogate is to get a Tesco Keighley is the biggest town without one |
|
| old_miner |
Blimey - if Keighley gets a Tescos it will really be a full house town for major super markets. Curious about Netto becoming an ASDA though. Maybe it is near enough to the main store be classified as an annex? |

think they can get away with it if they make it a Tesco Local |
|
| old_miner |
Assume you mean ASDA local. |

here tiz The process going forward The release by the OFT of Asda's obligation to divest the Keighley store is dependent on this public consultation. The OFT therefore gives notice that it is minded to release Asda from this divestment obligation. Before reaching a decision as to whether to release Asda of its obligation to divest the Keighley store, interested parties are invited to make their views known to the OFT. Representations should be made in writing to: Timothy Geer Mergers Group Office of Fair Trading Fleetbank House 2-6 Salisbury Square London EC4Y 8JX Telephone: 020 7211 8339 Email: tim.geer@oft.gsi.gov.uk Deadline for comments: 17.00 Wednesday 13 October 2011 Ref www.oft.gov.uk/OFTwork/mergers/comment/consultations/ASDA-netto In simple words Asda can keep Netto Keighley |

How interesting. Always seemed to be a funny place for that type of store. I wonder what ASDA have in mind? |

this post has been edited 1 time(s) I have heard on good authority today that Asda will re-open Netto under the Netto name on the 10th October. All the staff that worked in Netto are now in training at the Asda store in Keighley while the Netto store is being refurbished but it won't be like the Netto store of old. |

quoteI'm really pleased to hear that, I went in once and they were selling house breaking equipment.  |

Sounds like Netto(ASDA Smart Price) is closing for good on Dec 31st |
|
| jonno |
there is a big sign over netto entrance that says it will be closing permanently on 31 December 2011. |

this post has been edited 1 time(s) Just been onto Home Bargains website where they say that a new store is opening at Alston Road, Keighley in September. |
|
| Golden Oldie |
Have just been into Home Bargains, give it a try. Very impressed, clean, light and bright, a really good selection of items that are mainly named brands. Give it a try, worth the detour if you are going into Keighley shopping. The prices are much lower than some other supermarkets. |

| pumbajunior |
Agreed G.O. i went in the other day ive been in the Bingley one before this is bigger so more products |
