The Co-operative Food

Just your average local supermarket — nothing more, nothing less. There’s not a wide selection of products on offer here, but you can generally find all your essentials. Most of the staff are friendly. My main gripe is that the two self-​service machines are more often than not out of order.

I have a love/​hate relationship with this shop.
On the one hand, I love having someplace that is open 24 hours right around the corner from my place. You can’t beat that convenience and I have definitely taken advantage of this place when I have found myself in need of a meal, an energy drink or a phone top-​up at an odd hour. On the other hand, the proximity of this shop to the night bus shop means that I have frequently taken advantage of the large selection of junk food that is on offer all night – no matter what time i’ve gotten home from the bar.
Don’t get me wrong, this place generally has the essentials that you might need urgently (or are craving for any odd reason: P). But also, they charge handily for the basics (though you can get some deals when they are on sale). Also, they are frequently out of some items that seem quite basic. Though they seem to restock quickly.
This Co-​op has dairy, fruit and veg, some meat and a basic selection of canned goods and other snack stuff. More importantly, they’ve got lots of candy and snack food for late-​night perusal. I’m happy to have it in the neighborhood.

Quick in and out, great for basic bits.
A fair selection of veggies and fruits are on offer, as are fruit juices, milk and a respectable frozen section. But don’t expect fresh meats here.
