<p><em>"So, right next door to a Starbucks and a couple of doors down from a Costa, opens a Harris + Hoole. And with it a stretch of shops that once had a Clintons, an Our Price, a Woolworths, a 7-Eleven, and FADS for DIY becomes another classic example of north London’s lattification."</em></p>
<p>Not a Crouch End regular visitor, for more info there's the Hornsey Historical Society or you could ask on the <a href="http://opinion8.ning.com/" target="_blank">Opinion8</a> neighbourhood website. </p>
<p>Budgens in general was one of the 'corner shop' chains I think, latterly they opened larger stores like Crouch End as franchises, and the Crouch End store which they touted as their flagship branch was previously a Safeway.</p>
<p>The Budgens and Londis chains were bought by the Booker food group last year, and Budgens have sold a dozen or so stores to the Co-op group as a consequence. Andrew Thornton who ran the Crouch End store is still involved with the Budgens on Haverstock Hill.</p> Wasn't there also a little Bu…tag:harringayonline.com,2016-06-02:844301:Comment:8833102016-06-02T06:45:42.387ZSarahChttps://harringayonline.com/profile/SarahC
<p>Wasn't there also a little Budgens in Crouch End at the same time as the big one? The shop that was the 7-11? I can't really remember. Not sure what it is now, but probably a coffee shop.</p>

<p>Working assumption is it will remain, since it's front of house for the petrol station there.</p>
<p>There's a precedent: the Oddbins on Crouch Hill has been there a while, the Nicolas/Spirited Wines on The Broadway was taken over by Oddbins more recently, and they coexist.</p>
<p>And in the village I visit in Kent, there are two Co-ops facing each other on the High Street.</p>
