TU Brand Clothing finished at Liphook Sainsburys. - paul (17th Mar 2025 - 11:55:10) Hi, Is this a great loss to women and children, of no TU Clothing for sale at our local Sainsburys? Must be more profit in food offerings.

Re: TU Brand Clothing finished at Liphook Sainsburys. - paul (17th Mar 2025 - 17:14:26) Hi, Apparently the new area is going to be more " Health and Beauty" products. Therefore, Liphook shoppers will look more attractive!

Re: TU Brand Clothing finished at Liphook Sainsburys. - Sam (17th Mar 2025 - 17:52:43) Worth remembering the Sainsburys is a business and not a community centre, everything they do will be decided by how much profit they can make.

Re: TU Brand Clothing finished at Liphook Sainsburys. - PR (18th Mar 2025 - 13:10:50) The reason why Tu clothing has been removed is because it is available through the new Argos in store outlet. The Health and Beauty is moving but remaining the same size. The frozen and chilled food offer is being expanded. I believe also there may be increases in bakery goods, vegetables and off-sales.

Re: TU Brand Clothing finished at Liphook Sainsburys. - Editor (18th Mar 2025 - 18:15:58) From an email from Sainsburys... I’m writing to update you that over the coming weeks we are working to undertake a range of refurbishment and improvement works at some of our stores including Sainsbury’s Liphook. As a valued customer, I wanted to let you know the store will remain open as usual during this time and we are expecting these changes to be complete by 25/04/2025. To make shopping with us as easy and convenient as possible, we’ll be updating the layout and product ranges, offering an even greater choice of products at outstanding value. We’re making changes to have the right products in place at the right moment for our customers, providing even more products we know our customers love. Whether it be popping in to grab a delicious bite to eat or topping up on essentials, we want all our customers to look forward to and enjoy each visit to our stores. That’s why we are planning to transform our Liphook store, providing an increased range of delicious products so that there’s more to look forward when you shop there. Colleagues will be hand to support while everyone gets used to the new layout and there will also be signs in store to help find your favourite product as it might have moved. As part of our refurbishments in the store, specific upgrades that you can look forward to include: A new layout and clearer signage to make it much easier to find what you want Improved, extended product choice with ranges that are more tailored to what our customers are looking for We remain committed to minimising any disruption the refurbishment works may cause and appreciate your support and patience while we carry out this work. We look forward to welcoming everyone to our new and improved Sainsbury’s Liphook in the coming months. Best wishes, Patsy Farr Store Manager

Re: TU Brand Clothing finished at Liphook Sainsburys. - paul (18th Mar 2025 - 18:19:35) Hi, Whatever the commercial reasons; of Sainsburys Liphook, not stocking TU clothing, online at Argos is not the same. Shoppers like to see, touch, and feel garments before purchase. A poor decision for it's customer base, by it's management.

Re: TU Brand Clothing finished at Liphook Sainsburys. - Jo (18th Mar 2025 - 20:45:05) I'm disappointed the clothes have gone from Sainsbury's. I would buy a lot of stuff TU. Clearer signage wouldn't be needed if things were kept in the same place lol. It's a marketing tactic to move things around to get a customer to buy other things while looking for what they actually want. At the end of the day though, they are a business and will do whatever is needed to maximise profit

Re: TU Brand Clothing finished at Liphook Sainsburys. - er (18th Mar 2025 - 22:27:13) Sainsbury's isn't big enough or they'd probably do a lot more, for a growth town we probably need a big out of town supermarket nearer the A3, there are still places down Longmoor where they could put one, if we're going to get thousands of new homes in the next decade or two we should be planning ahead now.

Re: TU Brand Clothing finished at Liphook Sainsburys. - Jen (18th Mar 2025 - 22:50:59) Argh! Just when I had almost learned where everything is within the store, they're going to mix it up and change everything around! I shall be wandering even more aimlessly around the aisles now! 😂

Re: TU Brand Clothing finished at Liphook Sainsburys. - Yellow Bannanna Adrian (19th Mar 2025 - 07:54:13) Hopefully with the extra room they can sell yellow bannannas.

Re: TU Brand Clothing finished at Liphook Sainsburys. - paul (20th Mar 2025 - 18:12:36) Hi, I understand Supermarkets wanting to "mix things up", with their presentation; and marketing; of to their stores to their customers. A few years ago, (pre-pandemic), professional studies had found shoppers preferred a same layout that they were familiar with.. They spent more; rather than wandering around guessing where items were now displayed, even with signage. Not rocket science, as the "customer comes first"

Re: TU Brand Clothing finished at Liphook Sainsburys. - liz (25th Mar 2025 - 16:38:59) My Nector vouchers today included a £4 discount for Tu clothing. Lucky me!

Re: TU Brand Clothing finished at Liphook Sainsburys. - Mlewis (25th Mar 2025 - 17:54:26) I don't believe the clothes shopping in the store was ever really used as most people shop in Guildford for good quality fashionable clothing.

Re: TU Brand Clothing finished at Liphook Sainsburys. - Polly (25th Mar 2025 - 18:38:43) I think many people in the village would disagree with that view. One of the issues was that some sizes were so popular that they sold out and Sainsbury's never seemed to regularly replenish these. It was very handy for many people, particularly those who weren’t able to get to the larger towns. In any case, most town centres were decimated during Covid and have never really recovered, Guildford included.

Re: TU Brand Clothing finished at Liphook Sainsburys. - Local (26th Mar 2025 - 09:46:36) The cost of getting to Guildford and other places makes it not viable. And the shops are so expensive not everyone can afford the prices in some of the so called designer shops. The clothes in sainsburys was a good thing for local people reasonably priced good value so another loss for liphook.

Re: TU Brand Clothing finished at Liphook Sainsburys. - Joe (26th Mar 2025 - 11:45:09) You will still be able to get the TU brand in the Godalming Sainsbury’s and they have a changing room as well. If you cannot get there then you can order the clothes from Argos to be collected in Liphook. Not the same I know.

Re: TU Brand Clothing finished at Liphook Sainsburys. - liz (26th Mar 2025 - 13:30:21) Thanks Joe but unsurprisingly I don't think I'll bother! It was just the irony of the thing that amused me.

Re: TU Brand Clothing finished at Liphook Sainsburys. - Kathy M (27th Mar 2025 - 12:51:57) I to got a store voucher for Tu clothing yesterday - 900 extra points when you spend £30 - but ONLY VALD INSTORE - when i mentioned this to a member of staff saying rather unfortunate as they now didn't have clothing in store now- just laughed. - Not really very satisfactory.

Re: TU Brand Clothing finished at Liphook Sainsburys. - Michael Smith (30th Mar 2025 - 09:27:14) We had the same voucher, have messaged Sainsburys to ask what is the point of "900 extra points when you spend £30" when the next nearest store is Alton, they need to set these vouchers to actually be for stuff "Stocked" in store... like giving you petrol offers but no station.., ----- Sadly feels like this Sainsburys store is getting worse by the year. ------ have to say this.. the Staff 99% are really amazing and helpful, many been there for many many years and always helpful.
