Editing Flitwick (section)

==Shopping==

Flitwick has seen a large expansion in its population in recent years, but its retail facilities have not kept up with this growth. The local council has drawn up plans to redevelop the town centre to improve its retail offering [https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-beds-bucks-herts-12535915]. At present, it has a [[Tesco]], a [[The Co-operative Group|Co-op]], which provides a secondary food source to the community and many smaller shops and estate agents, many in close proximity to the railway station. There is an open-air market every Friday selling local produce, which is set up on the car park of the village hall. The open-air market has a variety of stalls such as fishmongers, baker, haberdashery, and fruit and vegetables.

The town also opened an Aldi in September 2023.

Flitwick market currently experiencing new stalls, including butcher and Thai food.
