In Trowbridge, UK, i think there was a Fine Fare in the Castle Place Shopping Centre (or whatever it was then!) where Wilksons is.
Is this true? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.83.125.225 ( talk) 12:57, 23 April 2010 (UTC)
There was a store in trowbridge - link to a flickr pic here - https://www.flickr.com/photos/93838966@N02/9574224252/ 94.101.168.68 ( talk) 12:48, 20 April 2015 (UTC)
I suspect that the list of branches is not encyclopedic content.
A quick scan of articles about other shops, past and present, found no other similar lists of branches like this. I admire the effort that has gone to create this list, but I think only notable stores should be mentioned. Eg the first store, the biggest, etc. Possibly policy Wikipedia is not a directory might apply here too.

I think the branches should exist as retailers such as House of Fraser and Army and Navy have these in place and were accepted by administrators. 90.209.249.220 ( talk) 12:08, 9 August 2015 (UTC)
This list continues to be padded out with the unsourced memories of IP addresses. Do we have any arguments in favour of keeping it other than "resource for social historians", "shows the extent of the chain" and "other articles do it"? -- McGeddon ( talk) 10:12, 2 September 2015 (UTC)
The only issue with the arguements made is that their is no statuory list of how many stores there was for Fine Fare at the time of the takeover by the Dee Corporation. Also much of the evidence is lost, and the memories of people maybe the only way this information is related - if a book was writen and researched by a historian this evidence would be it's basis. In addition an encylopedia as per the dictionary meaning states "a book or set of books giving information on many subjects or on many aspects of one subject and typically arranged alphabetically" or "Single or multi-volume publication that contains accumulated and authoritative knowledge on one subject (such as an encyclopedia of architecture or music), a few related subjects (such as an encyclopedia of arts or engineering), or a wide variety of subjects arranged alphabetically (such as the Encyclopedia Britannica)" but does not state what this information should be and in what form. Yes Wikipedia has rules - this stating that their should not be directories or advertising of commercial interests. However this is a dead company that has been gone over 30 years that once was a lead player in what was the new suermarket retail trade in the UK. Wikipedia however does allow lists, and this is what this is. It would not acceptable for a current company to have a list of sites, but in the case of a dead company why would this not be acceptable? 94.101.168.68 ( talk) 09:41, 8 September 2015 (UTC)
So are there any arguments left for keeping this section beyond 94.101.168.68 being surprised that a reputably-published book of the same content could be quoted as a source? -- McGeddon ( talk) 14:24, 24 September 2015 (UTC)
