It is common knowledge that Blockbusters is closing in Twerton after the National chain went into liquidation I have been told today that they are closing on Wednesday next week.
We all expected that the Twerton Blockbusters Store would remain open as it was a profitable part of the business.
I now understand that the rumours about Morrison's taking on the store are correct and that they have bought the building and not just bought out the lease that Blockbusters had with the building owner.
I have no official confirmation of the issue of Morrison's opening a local store in Twerton but have no reason not to believe this not to be correct.
I would hope that the current staff in the Blockbusters store would be able to gain employment with the new owners.
If Morrison's take on this store as local shop it turns back the clock nearly 30 years when retail last used the building and the Co op ceased trading in the High street before returning 5 years ago further down the High Street as Southern Co op.
