An Asda and a Gateway trolley by St Andrew’s Close.
I found a Gateway trolley on Caradoc Road, Northville on 24 December 2021; I think this must be the same one, migrated to Pontrhydyrun.
Gateway, founded in 1875 in Bristol, was taken over by Somerfield in 1992. There was a Somerfield supermarket in Cwmbran but this disappeared after Somerfield was acquired by the Coop in 2008. So where has this trolley been since then?
In 2010 ASDA bought the UK stores of Netto; they started converting them in 2011. This one at Manor Top is one of the first in Yorkshire to be converted.
ASDA have a big share of the "large" supermarket business, but in recent years Tesco and Sainsburys have moved into the "small" shops end of the market too, to increase their market share. Whilst hypermarkets will always do well in the UK, they aren't suitable for many people, and there's been a new focus by the big companies at "local" shops (where they may be able to sell things for more money for those unable to drive to out-of-town hypermarkets and pay for a £100 trolley of goods - the "top up" market of those spending £10/£20 a time can be just as lucrative)
To stop people walking into the car park this way there are railings and cobbles - but where there's a will there's a way
A final shot, just to give you an idea where it was in front of the store - the answer, only about 50 metres or so!
Early work under way on the construction of the Asda store on Arbroath Westway Retail Park in May, 2011.
A slip of the finger? Asda's online shopping service advertising boxes of beer for 10p. Not sure they're going to honour the offer, but lots of people are giving it a whirl anyway.
