Convenience store in Reading

“The dough nuts are awesome. Great variety of produce and good value for money.”

“I use my local Marks & Spencer regularly and the staff have always been fantastic, however, this week (12.06.2023 approx: 15:30) I witnessed just how ‘above and beyond’ they go. An elderly gentleman came into the store, he was obviously disoriented. Staff pulled together to assist him without a thought. Janet patiently spoke to him and helped him find the few items he wanted. Then the store manager (I am so sorry I’m not sure I have remembered his name correctly) Abdulla? He was a young dark haired man. He actually walked the gentleman home!!!. They were keen to make sure he was ok and advised that he does come in regularly but he is not usually as confused. The patience and care they showed this gentleman really touched me and restored my faith in humanity, particularly in a world where it seems large companies are keen to push ‘money saving technology’. Thank you!!!”

“Popped in for a couple of bits and ended up buying 2 meal deals. Great selection of produce, especially the flowers.”

“I recently visited the M&S store and had a genuinely wonderful experience. From the moment I walked in, the store was clean, well-organized, and inviting. The layout made it easy to find everything I needed, from fresh groceries to clothing and home goods.”

“A good branch of Co-op. Friendly, helpful staff. Well-stocked shelves. There's a cash machine just outside. There's a decent amount of free parking available behind the store. This is accessible via an alleyway next to the entrance.”

“Great place to pick up essentials. Always well stocked and friendly and positive staff. Easy to park outside and never queue for long inside the shop. Current opening times are 7am - 8pm with first hour being for NHS staff.”

“Employee number 1 makes very good food and it tastes very good would deffinitelly recommend. He is very friendly! Love the food”

“Great store for essentials, shame car park is not bigger”

“This 5* is to the gentleman who served me this afternoon. I apologise as I didn't catch his name. What a nice lad. Took the time to speak with me, ask how I was, didn't offer to pack my bags, just started doing it. Genuinely chuffed when I walked out of the store. I just want to highlight with management that you've got an asset on your hands. All the best and look forward to being served by him again in the near future.”

“Great food of course! Just avoid it on Christmas eve lol Chaos”

“Lovely food, always my go to for a treat. Nicely laid out and a good selection. The short stay car park outside the door is a bit of a nightmare so, if you don't mind walking a couple of hundred metres more, it's a lot less hassle to use the long stay parking.”

“Excellent location. Convenient and large, with especially amazing selection of beers, coders, wines and liquor. If you have any favourite flavour or brand. Chances are good you’ll find it here, paired with rare and unusual crisps. Produce and meats are fresh and plentiful, staff is friendly and helpful. Lots of self-checkout lines really cut down on waiting times. The only downside is the price - slightly higher overall than other stores in the area, but worth it for the quality and sortiment.”

“Fad is a Middle-Eastern grocery store in Lower Earley at Reading and about the only shop that sells fresh Halal meat of all kinds, Lamb, Mutton, Beef, & Chicken. Despite its small size, the store has plenty of other goods popular in the Middle East including snack foods, break, pickles, ready-to-eat meals, frozen food, drinks, rice, flour and many other items. It also has household items & kitchenware. The prices however are above average but reasonable for those who rather not go to town for Halal shopping for ME goods.”

“I love this particular co-op. It’s not my local one. The staff are so friendly. It’s a nice size shop and always clean and well stocked . Food nice and fresh and well labelled. Thank you”

“Good selection of sweeties to tantalise my tastebuds ✅”

“Big M&S with a super new food area, lots of choice, a cafe, parking, good location”

“Very organised, good variety and nice staff.”

“Great little store and always yes pleasant staff behind the tills and serving. It may not have everything or be perfect but very convenient and the co op mid-counties products can very premium and decent quality you can also find in other stores.”

“Lovely little Co-op. We loved shopping here when we visited this cute town. They have a large selection of about anything you would need. The staff was very helpful.”

“So good since the new owners took over, really polite and friendly staff who actually seem genuinely grateful for your custom. Well stocked and a good range of 'corner shop' products. Good luck to them”

“Excellent service. Staff are very helpful. Good selection of food. Meal deal is great value. Parking outside.”

“This is an excellent shop! The owner is extremely friendly and helpful, and gives fantastic customer service. This shop gives a real sense of community to the neighbourhood. Also, this Nisa has a very good range of products for a convenience store, and is more economical than other similar shops. I highly recommend this shop.”

“The guys in the shop are always polite, friendly and helpful, also super convenient opening times.”

“Always friendly staff. Clean, well stocked”

“I took a ring in today to sell. The staff were extremely helpful in explaining the options. Although I did not go ahead with the sale the staff were still friendly and helpful. If I have anything to sell in the future I will go back.”

“M and s in the station is great. You can always get nice food. However one slight piece of constructive feedback is when they closed On strike days. I had no where to go and it was not helpful and I think they could have stayed open for business reasons and to help the community. I have to say though the staff are amazing. They always help you with your bags. Always well stocked. Really nice littler treasure trove in the station.”

“Really great team and Owen as new manager has really improved everything - feel very welcome.”

“Exactly what you expect a Sainsbury's Local to be. They have all the basics you need such as Bread, Milk, Cereal or sauces. Theres a meal deal section so you can buy yourself a meal deal, and get your basic items rather than going all the way to a full on supermarket. Great location and a car park with lots of spaces. It is also situated opposite a Garage and some fast food restaurants so you can order some food and then go get your basic groceries whilst waiting.”

“I live very close to it and it is a lifesaver when we do not have any food”

“i go there everyday mm its so neat so tidy coffie of course and ice cream and lots of friendly without co-op id kill my self”
