With Barnstaple as the main shopping area for North Devon, retail work contributes to the economy. There are many chain stores in the town centre and in the Roundswell Business Park, on the western fringe of the town. Tesco has several stores in the area, including a Tesco Extra hypermarket and a Tesco superstore. There are also Sainsbury's and Lidl supermarkets. The multi-million pound redevelopment in and around the former Leaderflush Shapland works at Anchorwood Bank is creating a conservation area near the River Taw, hundreds of new homes, a commercial retail area of shops, restaurants and leisure facilities, and a Asda superstore and petrol filling station. The new Asda store opened in November 2016.
