Prior to the building being Netto it was Willis Discount (not sure when it opened but it was there in 1986 up until about 1990/91 I think when it closed but under the name Willis Foodstores. I believe it was a family business and they had another shop in either Walkley or Crookes. I always remember the song in 1986 when I was in the store which went like this:
“Willis Discount are doing it right; quality foods at a discount price”.
Netto closed it’s doors I think in June 2011 and reopened as an Asda Supermarket in August 2011.
