Fruit and veg shop to open on Victoria Street

The Sun has a Coronation Street spoiler today that Julie Carp will open a Fruit and Veg shop on Victoria Street, where Elliot & Son butchers is currently. The butcher shop has remained empty since early December 2010, when Ashley Peacock was killed by the killer tram.

It'll be fun to see Julie and Brian setting up shop, with any luck they will get Eileen working in there, as I think she's wasted in the factory.

The future of Elliott & Son's butchers

With Ashley and Fred no longer in the world of the living, the Victoria Street butchers is left vacant, there's a few suggestions on what will happen next.

One of them is Graeme will take over and carry on the trade, but does Corrie really need the butchers? Tracy wants to buy it and open a florists, but like the bakers a few years ago, it probably wouldn't be used much. Finally, there's whispers that Audrey's friend, Claudia Colby might be opening up another salon there - but there is already a salon, unless Audrey's closes down.

What do you think should happen to the old butchers?
