No Longer A Gap In The Mercat

Well, not that one anyway.
The Woolies store in Kirkcaldy was L-shaped. The back part was the first to be taken over: by clothes retailer Peacocks – now looking like they’re in administration themselves what with the 70% off signs for their January sales. They moved in a few months ago.

Relatively recently the other part of the Woolies shop – which had originally been a Tesco’s before they took over William Low’s and moved their operation to the Low’s site in the Postings shopping area – morphed into something called Home Bargains, which is best described as Woolies with added food.

The half-price sale sign on the right edge of the picture is actually for a JJB Sports shop which is up some stairs and in which I’ve not set foot.
The Mercat is an indoor mall, hence the darkness of the photos, taken as they were around 5pm on a winter’s evening.
Edited to add:- Peacock’s isn’t in administration, just having a sale.
