Bettabuy was a Leeds based chain of supermarkets, with the Weatherfield branch on Albert Road often frequented by the residents of Coronation Street.

Staff[]

Reg Holdsworth, Curly Watts and Andy McDonald as part of management and had among the staff Vera Duckworth, Ivy Brennan, and Maureen Holdsworth.

Filming location[]

A real branch of Morrisons supermarket on Church Street in Eccles was used for filming the Bettabuy scenes (later a branch of Wilko). The Bettabuy staff even wore the Morrisons' staff uniform of the time (dark blue nylon, with a blue and white check at the top.) Morrisons later started selling a "Bettabuy" budget brand as a cheeky tribute.
