It has been rumoured for a while that the large new empty unit in Bury Street will soon have a new occupant.

Superdrug will be moving from their current premises to the new unit. In planning application P15/V2508/FUL they are looking for approval for a new shop front.

When the new units were built the general understanding was they would attract some new big names to Abingdon. Now New Look have moved across into one, and Superdrug are moving into the other. Good to see the commitment of these two companies to Abingdon – even if things have not gone quite to plan.
