Often there are some shelves are close to empty. Inconsistent availability of products. Infrequent stock replenishment. Feels like a token effort for a store and with Waitrose and Aldi 5 mins away by car I can imagine it quickly looses customers. Prices high (some 75% more than Waitrose for the same product).
Nice, clean and modern interior, a delightful little bakery area in the entrance, the store is sizeable enough that you can find most of what you'll need for a quick shop. Be warned however, the prices aren't anything close to reasonable in many cases, as is the way with any convenience store.
Not open till 11pm but had everything needed.
Very inferior to all other Co-ops in the area. I avoid it usually but popped in for bananas on 11 Oct 2021. Untidy store with rubbish and bits of packing on the floor and as usual hardly any fresh produce. There was only one bag of manky bananas which I bought only because I couldn't get to the lovely store along Botley Road because of all the traffic problems. It must be a management problems since all other co-ops are tidy, clean and well stocked.
Why close a half of store when the seller unpacks the goods? I couldn’t buy milk, cheese, meat, eggs, pizza, gluten-free biscuits, yogurt, sausages, fish. I had to go to another store to shop. This was not the first time. I'm not happy. I would not recommend this store to anyone! I'll take my money elsewhere.
Little gem making it closer for our every day shopping. Bit pricey though... Edit nr1. Lately buying ice-creams are tricky as most of them are melted refrozen ones. Aesthetically questionable their state at best as that normally means them being broken up in their bags into pieces. Don't get me into the negative health effects. Two stars off. Edit nr2. Lately they've got no stock. No eggs no onions no no sour cream no banana no potatoes... Don't bother and certainly don't waste your time. Down on the main road there's the petrol station. Same company, yet they always have everything in stock. It's probably the management not the company then...
Never seem to have much in stock.
Covered bike rack, good choice of food
