I work there and it is not closing.

Where did you hear that from? I found a couple of articles online that claim they're cancelling the opening of a new store in Glasgow, but nothing to say they're closing any existing ones.
The articles are from January though so I suppose things could have changed since then.

It's pretty busy. I can't see them closing it. However, I can see Morrison's closing. Too expensive for the same stuff. I wish they'd open a Sainsbury locally. Or is the east end not good enough?

Perhaps Sainsbury will takeover Morrison's..there are rumours of someone taking over. Market forces it seems.

There's talk of a Sainsbury opening somewhere in the East End. I don't know where though. My partner did work for Sainsburys recently and was told there was be work available for the one opening here.
I work for Tesco (not the branch) There was a list of the ones being closed, this was also in the press and it didn't mention the Parkhead one. I don't think its particularly busy though. // Tesco has def got cheaper recently. Lets hope they keep the prices down.

Tesco Parkhead Retail Park is doing extremely well.So,As a loyal local shopper and in my opinion ,It will continue to thrive and serve the people.

It will be busier when everyone moves in to the Commonwealth games village area.

I have a family member who works there and they are demoting a lot of staff e.g. From supervisor back to customer service assistant but with a cash incentive. So no they aren't closing but trying to save money I guess.

tescos rutherglen is closer to most of the commonwealth games village, and asda for the top end.

I like it because it's nice and quiet but I did half expect to see it in the list of closures. I can't imagine it's been a big success for Tesco, just not enough people using it.

Knock it down. Build some affordable houses.
There's an Asda on one side, a Morrisons on the other, Lidl etc nearby, too, and Tescos in Rutherglen AND Springburn already.

Tesco is there to stay........ especially when they eventually get permission to build a petrol station ....... after the ones on Alexandra Parade close down.

I was wondering what happened with the petrol station. As I'm classed as a neighbour of the retail park I get updates on what's being built etc. I got a letter years ago saying they were planning on a petrol station.
#17 - resident replied on the 20/03/2015 7:12:43 PM
Aye. Would be no surprise to see a Tesco petrol station application before very long. Oh well.

Where would the proposed Tesco petrol station be? Once the high rise flats come down, maybe there?
#19 - anon _l replied on the 21/03/2015 11:32:51 AM
H, no that space is going to be used for more new flats.

Just like they done up at St Rollox, they will place it in the massive car park.
