Oxfordshire Budgens closed for good after 27 years
The Abingdon shop based at Peachcroft retail park was shut for the last time on Sunday, April 12 having opened in 1999.
The store was first opened to replace the Co-Op that had been there serving customers the years prior.
While the shop has now closed, Bradford-based supermarket Morrisons will be moving in straight away.
