Buns!

The building of the new Booths store has undoubtedly had a devastating effect upon small businesses in the vicinity – Davill’s of Westgate being only the latest to close - and as the store prepares to open there will almost certainly be more casualties. Booths retail strategy is clearly an aggressive one despite all the soft soap hype and their target market is that occupied at present by small retail outlets in the town. However, it is not enough simply to lay the blame at Booths door, nor that of the highways dept for the undeniable cock-up they’ve made of the road system. All businesses need to move with the times in order to succeed and a new strategy will be necessary to ensure their survival. We live in a Free Range, Organic, Continental Market world (witness the queues at the French Market bread stall) and you can be sure that Booths will cater to those needs so trying to sell 1970s throwback cakes is – has proven to be – a recipe for disaster.

P.S. It's surprising what you find when you google 'buns'!!
