Co-operative food store

A small but packed with stuff. The meet is always good and the are a lot of fresh items to choose from.
For a small shop they have a lot in there. I hate having to take my kids in here because of the huge range of kids magazines.
These a free cash point in the shop which is also very handy and the fresh bread in the morning you will not be able to walk away from the smell.
Here of the small Tesco’s down the road, this place wins all the time.
ALSO remember there is parking round the back.

I can’t stand this store, I only ever use it as a last resort. The staff are just about the worst I’ve ever had the displeasure of encountering. They are rude, slow and treat you as an inconvenience. The last time I was in there I ended up at the end of an eight person queue with one person serving and two staff laughing and joking at the back of the shop. I had to go and get one of them to make any progress. I’ve complained in there a couple of times but it seems nothing ever gets done about it. Go to tesco instead, it’s about ²⁵⁰⁄₃₀₀ yards away with better parking, cheaper goods and decent staff.

What a great little store this is, punching well above its weight.
Located less than a mile from the Town Centre, with free parking at the back of the store off Vale Road or on street, its easy to get in and out of when you are in a hurry. Unlike Tesco!
For a smallish store it certainly has plenty of choice. I’ve never been unable to find what I want/​need or a suitable alternative and whilst it might be classed as a convenience store you don’t pay conveinience store prices as its part of a big group.
Their membership (loyalty) scheme is one of the best and can be paid straight into your bank account or you can opt for vouchers, or donate some or all of your ‘Share of the profits’ to community projects. No messing about with points or prizes!
I love the fact they were the first to promote Fairtrade and support green issues long before their rivals or before it became trendy. As a ‘Member’ you also get a real say on how the Co-​op is run.
The store also has an off licence, lottery machine, pay point, sells newspapers etc.
The staff are friendly and knowledgeable about what they sell. A real asset in the community!
