Cargo are likely to be out of Abingdon by the end of October – they have a Closing Down Sale. This may tie in with the recent re-opening of Cargo in Witney with a larger premises. Cargo came to Abingdon when the Cargo in Witney closed during the redevelopment of the Witney Woolgate shopping centre.

Somerfield is about to be re-branded as a co-operative food which will mean we will soon have two Co-ops in Abingdon Town Centre.

Now Open Until 11pm
The extension of hours from 10pm to 11pm at the Co-op is not directly related to the imminent opening of the SPAR nearby. The Co-op were already in negotiations with staff about a 11pm closing time before Bargain Booze shut down. It is one thing going home at 10pm, and quite another going home at 11pm, and the Co-op had to get staff to agree first.
