It will be a rumour made up by a bored Marple resident wanting to cause unrest.Could that person be Sooty 2 :o
What about my divi ??? I for one hope its not Asda ! :o
Has anybody asked Bryce?
Asda is to take over Hazel Grove co -op. It will close at the end of this week and reopen in september with access from the A6. Looks like the Marple one is to stay.
The road works on the A6, which is causing 2 mile tail backs during the day, is a result of ASDA taking over the site. It looks like you will be able to turn right, and no doubt left, off the A6 into the car park. That will effectively make the A6 single line for cars in that area. Wonder how much through traffic will divert via Marple as a result?

Just heard that the Co-Op in Marple is to become an Asda store. I hope its true !Well I don't ! What about my reward card :D
its the college building not co-opWhat do you mean .no chance traffic problems ,stop spreading rumours ..

Anyway, if the Council were concerned about traffic they wouldn't have approved the entrance/exit on the A6 for the Asda store in Hazel Grove.
But they're not caused by Asda. Yet.
Competition is all well and good but could Marple support 2 supermarkets, probably not. There are a number of alternative supermarkets located within 5 miles (2 Tesco, 2 Sainsbury's, 1 Morrissons & 2 Asda's) + just think of the impact on the local roads, remember Bredbury before the supermarket was built. What makes Marple unique is the number of small independent retailers, most areas don't even have one butchers or green grocers, the last thing Marple needs is another supermarket. If Asda or Tesco were interested in improving competition locally they would put on free local buses like in other areas, but they don't so I can only assume they are not interested.New larger sainsburys in stockport across the road planing going in soon .wont hapen in Marple .
It'll be interesting to see which supermarket it could be:The Waitrose at Poynton probably rules that one out too.
Asda - doubt it. Too close to their new store at Hazel Grove.
Tesco - Only a few miles from their 24 hour store in Stockport and they have a Tesco Express in Hazel Grove
Sainsburys - have a store in Hazel Grove and an express in Romiley
Morrisons - too close to their Bredbury store
Waitrose - Mmmm! That could do well. We don't have a quality supermarket in the area.
All just my opinions of course.

Unlikely, but there's always Booths (http://www.booths.co.uk/). They're just opening at MediaCity in Salford (http://mediacityuk.booths.co.uk/) and their nearest otherwise is Knutsford. Their stores even sometimes actually look quite nice (http://www.loweswatercam.co.uk/09112314.jpg).
At the other end of the scale, there's Lidl...And alldi and uncle tom cobly an all .

These stores are all several miles away. Why would a Morrisons in Bredbury affect one being built in Marple for instance? ???
....consider what it will look like when many of the independent shops are put out of business and are boarded up or become charity shops and pound shops.

Where has this term 'BIG supermarket' come from?Big Light, Big Society, Big Utility Bills, Big Problems !
Nobody has any idea what size it could possibly be. No planning application has been put in.
I've been asking Co-op workers about the rumours to this Asda subject and they know nothing about it.
Apparently the staff at the college were informed about the college's plans a while ago. If the college sells the land to a supermarket they will get more money than if they sell it for housing. I notice the Brnaby Farm shop has closed down. Another empty shop in Marple.
