Morrisons

Morrisons is probably my favourite of the main brand supermarkets, the food always seems fresher and the staff are a nicer breed.
This branch is one of their newest ventures and it is one of my favourite branches. Even the new gimmicks make me smile like the chilled haze over the herbs and stem vegetables.
The store has the standard «Market Street» consisting of freshly made pizzas, cheese counter, cold meats, hot meats, butcher, fishmonger and baker. The only thing missing would be a candlestick maker but that is beyond the point.
They stock a great selection across all the ranges and the staff are always there to help. Food on the counters is fresh and looks appealing. Displays always appear to be being filled and faced up. Bakery always smells like there is fresh bread ready to eat.
Nice little café/​restaurant which serves everything from a cuppa and a cake to a full meal (kids eat free on weekdays, not sure how that works not having any children) and flower stand at the front of the store.
Plenty of parking and easy access from public transport.
I like a nice in-​town supermarket that has all the bits and pieces you will generally need. I wouldn’t be a repeat customer if they didn’t have good service.

It’s good to have more choices of shopping venue in the area, and this Morrisons offers a huge variety of fresh produce, laid out in a clean and spacious superstore.

Heard on da street (from a local taxi driver) there was a Morrisons soon opening up in the East End, not long after ANOTHER Tes*o opened up in this part of town too. I was doubtful & did wonder if he’d got confused but nope, taxi man, you were right! Gold star.
Another supermarket in my neck of the woods is always welcome as I have sort of fallen out with Te*cos…long story, but basically I only shop there if I really have to/​have no other choice and it just so happens the 2 nearest supermarkets to me are both blinkin’ T*scos! *grumble* SO, HELLO MORRISONS! :-) Only time I’ve been in a Morrisons is once to the Mozzers at Easterhouse/​Fort, once to le Partick one and a few times to one doon South in that Norfolk. Always thought ‘Meh’ about them before UNTIL (da da DA!) I stepped into the wonderful, shiny new Mozzers at Barrack Street! Wow.
I am a tiny bit sad in that I actually ENJOY supermarket shopping. I love looking at all the new produce they have in stock and I could honestly wander around the bigger ones ALL DAY (just about). ROCK AND ROLL! Whatever, we all have our ‘thangs’ and supermarkets are one of mine, okay? Cool. Now onto this place — I actually walked around the first part of the supermarket saying ‘Wow!’ and ‘Ooh!’ to myself (and maybe a tad too loud at points…) looking at all the wondrous things! So many weird and wonderful vegetables and fruits ~ a few I’ve never heard of ever, let alone seen before. The amount of fresh veg/​fruit/​produce this place has is outstanding and (dare I say it) even BETTER than Waitrose! (Shock horror!) I also LOVED their funky cooling/​keep fresh pipe system they had ~ every now & then pumping out cool cool air onto the precious things, I felt like I was in some mental veg-​filled disco at one point (FIRE IN THE DISCO! FIRE IN THE DISCO!) in fact I even did a wee dance of joy at one (sad) point to see such a beautiful thing smothering and freshifying (?!) all the magical vegetables/​fruits. Yes, I’m a mentalist.
Their selection of fresh produce, not only veg/​fruit ~ with your very own greengrocer on hand to help you should you need it (I have visions of people walking up saying ‘POTATO?!’), but also their Fresh To Go section ~ making fresh sarnies for you from scratch, bakery, fishmongers, butchers, cake shop, delicatessen and their Oven Fresh counter ~ offering fresh roast chickens, pies, etc. really is what makes this supermarket super. I could’ve happily filled my trolley up to the brim with all the fabby fresh produce alone before I’d even reached the other aisles.
Really like the layout ~ feels spacious and looks clean/​tidy and bright too. Also when I stepped inside I totally forgot I was in (a not so great part of) the East End of Glasgow.
My only (totally selfish/​personal) gripe is that I wish it was closer to me and wasn’t at the end of a bit of a dodgy street. Apart from that I LOVE this place and will be back.
