New Co-Op on Jamaica Road (where Costcutter is)

I hear that Co-op is taking over the Costcutter store in Scott's Sufferance Wharf (Dockhead/Jamaica Road/Tooley Street) and will be opening a metro-type store. They are already advertising for staff...

Interesting - I heard a similar rumour a couple of weeks about another local Costcutter which was owned by the same people as the Dockhead one (Sunstar Group) - I asked the Co-op press office and they wouldn't comment (but didn't deny it either) so something would seem to be afoot.

Gavin, do you know where they are advertising for staff?

There are a couple of jobs here (if you zoom in on the map the location is Dockhead).

They are also looking for staff in the Southwark Park Rd branch, there's a notice in the window.

Thanks for the info!

18 November is the last day of Costcutter, Scott Sufferance Wharf. I've been told the Co-op is opening very soon afterwards - maybe even within a few days.

Costcutter on Tower Bridge Road is going to become a Co-Op too... went this morning to get some milk and shocked to see virtually half the shelves empty.. If anyone planning on making a low-budget apocolypse-coming movie now is the time to get some very easy shots of a supermarket down to it's last dregs..

Used to do the cheapest Leffe in town - £1.19 a bottle. Bargain.

Ah happy days.

Went this morning and some shelves are now completely empty. They seem to be selling most Thai and Indian curry sauces at £1.59 a jar. Excellent - grabbed a few. There are other bargains in there too.

Will miss the tower bridge costcutter as well - assume the new co-op isn't going to be 24 hours.
