Looking good :)

The mini-market looks twice the size the Corner Shop was

EDIT: I agree :D The Kabin looks remarkably similar though lmao

How many times have they redone Dev's shop? The till's been in every single corner it could be lol.

I think it's time they made it just a whole row of houses with the pub at the end. A bit ridiculous there'd be a newsagents and a corner shop that close together in a small area where business is pretty scarce. New house with new tenants.

The Kabin looks almost the same, infact they both do. They should have revamped :dance:

Scarlett. 04-02-2011 12:00 AM

It looks like they've ditched the whole "Corner Shop" routine and its now a mini-supermarket, they're even selling pet food and toiletries now xD

I like the exterior too, it doesn't look to follow a specific colour routine, and the pattern in the windows is what you see in any modern shop

Kerry 04-02-2011 12:02 AM

Why does it say medicines over the fags? :laugh2:

Kerry 04-02-2011 12:03 AM

Plus Petfood over the booze? :shocked:

Scarlett. 04-02-2011 12:04 AM

I think it's just like buzz words they use in a shop, rather than a guide to where everything is xD

Kerry 04-02-2011 12:06 AM

But there are no medicines or any petfood there. Just booze, fags and shampoos :joker:

EDIT - Right, I get you. Misread (again)

Scarlett. 04-02-2011 12:09 AM

The older Corner Shop was a joke, it was all packed so tightly xD

Kerry 04-02-2011 12:12 AM

Just noticed, Norris can't reach to the right for Emily's midget gems anymore! She'll end up with 20 fags!

Scarlett. 04-02-2011 12:13 AM

Lol xD

I wonder if they'll drop the Post Office branding

Kerry 04-02-2011 12:15 AM

At least the Kabin has sweets under Sweets and tabacco under Tabacco :laugh2:

Scarlett. 04-02-2011 12:18 AM

lol the only differences in the Kabin is that the sign saying where stuff is is now blue xD

Scarlett. 04-02-2011 12:34 AM

I just noticed No.13 is still burnt out D:

Callum 04-02-2011 01:22 AM

I like the new corner shop, is that a self scanner I see? :shocked:

In Dev's but yeah your probably right I think it's a swipe card machine. Just from a distance it looked like a self scanner to me, would be cool for the soaps to follow trend with them but then you would lose the over the counter gossip etc. from the shopkeeper and the customer so I can see why they wouldn't want to.

Probably too small for something like that. I've never seen one in anything other than a supermarket

Don't see why a tiny little shop with the odd customer here and there would need a self scanner.

This is set to open in the next two weeks...the filming is only two/three weeks ahead

Alf Roberts had a 'mini-supermarket' yonks ago... Alf's Mini Mart.

It's a shame they have not been more radical with the new sets, they look very bland (especially The Kabin) they could have gone for a much better & bigger overhaul... :sleep:

Scarlett. 05-02-2011 02:22 PM

What else more radical could they have done? Have upside down shelves? xD

The Corner Shop now looks a little more up to date, and actually has all the things a Corner Shop does

The Kabin looks similar, but I bet it will be more noticably new when it's seen on screen, also I have a theory that the hatch might become the Post Office counter
