Quench – Six Months on in Abingdon

1 Reply

In November 2009 it was announced that with the exception of 100 or so stores that were sold as going concerns all of the remaining stores of First Quench Retailing Limited were to cease trading. That included two “The Local” Off Licences and one “Thresher” Off Licence in Abingdon.
Londis Vineyard
Londis has recently opened on the Vineyard and is the first ex-Quench shop to re-open. Well done to them and thanks to Jones who told me they were coming. They are just by the bus stop.
Off Licence Ock Street
The Local on Ock Street is currently being fitted as an Off Licence – name yet to be revealed. Also near a bus stop.

The ex Threshers on Peachcroft has planning permission to be turned into a licensed betting office. To be continued.

A new Londis is soon to open.
Azuri Opening
It will be where the Local off licence used to be in the Vineyard.

The town centre Londis recently changed to become a Bargain Booze, but now another smaller Londis is coming.

Thanks to Jones for spotting this one for me. It does remind me that, as we go to the polls, there has been a virtual smoke screen during the election campaign….

Sometimes it is useful to read the foreign press rather than newspapers that have allied themselves to one party or another.
