Jason Wargen, of South Street in Leominster, was convicted of nine counts of theft from shops and associated breaches of an existing Criminal Behaviour Order (CBO), when he appeared before Hereford Crown Court on Thursday (July 23).
The judge extended his CBO for another two years - so it now runs until July 23, 2029 - and amended it to include more stores across Herefordshire.
His CBO prohibits him from entering all Co-op supermarkets in Herefordshire, all branches of Aldi, and all Spar supermarkets.
He is also banned from entering Savers in Leominster's High Street, Subway in the High Street, the Applegates Garage in Leominster, Castlefields Stores in Leominster, Aladdins in Bridge Street, Leominster, and Fryers Garage in South Street.
Judge Martin Jackson, calling Wargen, 51, a "persistent nuisance" to shop workers in the town, said there were glimmers of hope he might be able to stop breaking the law.
