Image of Monks Cross, York branch: staff at The Shoppers' Oasis coffee bar

Photograph included in 'JS Journal' October 1994 with caption "At Monks Cross: (I to r) Durham restaurant section manager Barbara Snowdon, senior Oasis assistant Kath Stanley and Oasis assistants Joanne Keenlyside and June Hearld". The 'JS Journal' article explains that "Monks Cross was the first store to show off the new Shoppers' Oasis customer catering format. The new shoppers' watering hole is designed for stores with lower customer numbers than will support a Shoppers' Restaurant and excludes the hot food typical of that format. Instead, smaller tables and predominantly self-service facilities have been installed, including the eponymous Oasis for drinks. Shoppers pay for a cup and can then help themselves to a choice of tea, coffee, hot chocolate and cappuccino".
