Sadly, I've never got the hype about Aldi, they might be associated with "bargains" and "low…read moreprices" however I don't really agree, I always find that in ALDI you are paying less for a decreased level of quality, service and in-store experience and this branch here in the Manchester Arndale sums up my scepticism completely. This branch is in quite an unusual condition, it is located on the upper floor of the Manchester Arndale, with enterences from street level from Market Street and from Shopping centre level, where the actual only floor of the store is. The store just didn't feel nice, and it felt like a Pound shop in certain areas, it just felt cheap with the poor level of shelving etc, it just wasn't very nice at all. ALDI and LIDL are very similar in this approach across most of their branches, which are two very similar "discount" brands however another problem with the brand that this branch is a prime example of is the queuing, the queuing system was really badly handled, there are no self service tills, customer service desks or anything like that here, there is just a very low number of tills which don't cope well with queues, I eventually decided to leave and buy my products from somewhere else because of this. I did notice the store manager too who basically stared at me at a comment I made about the poor quality feel of the store and the cheap shelving and layout, he basically rudely stared at me before walking off, he didn't even acknowledge me or try to speak about the problem. Sadly this ALDI branch at the Manchester Arndale is a prime example of all things wrong with the brand especially with the poor, cheap layout and the awful queuing which isn't handled very well at all, so sadly deserves a single one star. which is a shame to start off on a negative foot as this is my first review for an ALDI store.
I'm not prone to depression but spending five minutes in this Aldi definitely made me feel like I…read morewas sliding down a long and bleak hillside. For starters, this store is about ten times bigger than any Aldi I've seen before and looks and feels like a gigantic Iceland. There's no attempt at seducing customers or displaying goods in an attractive manner - everything is just stacked up as easily as possible with horrible signage. The lights look like interrogation strip-lights and there's no music or ambience. In short, the whole focus is on the products and what a mixed bunch they are! One minute you're walking past an aisle of cheap biscuits, crackers and crisps, the next cheap cheap DVD players, walkmans and sat navigation systems. At the back of the store there's an even cheaper fresh and frozen section with perfect looking fruit and veg, meat, fish, cheese, butter, pizzas, puddings and ready meals. Strangely, Aldi seem to sell odd bits and bobs of clothing too from cheap fishing gloves and hats to wool scarves. I'm sure you could pick up some good things if you looked hard enough but frankly, I can't imagine having the time or the inclination to return.
When Chris M and I ducked in here on the way back to his in need of some milk, who'd have thought…read morewe'd be grabbing amazing bargains by the armful. Our first introduction to Lakeland Groceries involved giant bags of Barbecue Doritos for less than a quid, and huge quantities of eggs at criminally low prices (free range before you start finger-wagging!). Wow, where had this place been all our lives? Situated right near Castlefield Gallery, it seems to be operated by one or two friendly staff, and it's a lovely hotch-potch corner-shop-like offering with a surprising range of products. Anything from a stonkingly generous variety of cheeses to pretty much a whole deli counter, snacks and store cupboard essentials and bits and bobs. You can even buy a bit of booze here if you've had a hard day at the office. So, The Southern Gateway eh. Sarah-Anne M's right, this residential area doesn't have a single recognisable retail outlet less than a ten minute walk away. Well forget hopping all the way to Whitworth Street West's Sainsbury's and Oxford Road's Tesco for your essentials and forgottens, if you're in need of a bit of milk, juice or even some cold cuts and nibbles to lay out for guests, here's your spot!

I've been on a mission to discover more of north Manchester recently.

As well as being another central hub of Manchester's south Asian community it's also adjacent to Manchester's Jewish community. This Superstore sits inbetween the two communities and is buzzing with activity all week long. It's probably one of the biggest stores of its kind in the city. The summertime is a perfect time to visit, for me at least because it's mango season! Honey mangos are shipped in all the way from Pakistan and are priced very reasonably considering they are HEAVENLY! There's also a butchers in house and the store houses a library of herbs and spices. In short there are stores like this littered aross the city in smaller denominations. And in all honesty they probably cater for all the things that are available here. But if you want that remote spice from a youtube recipe or want a faluda flavour ice cream like I do, this is the only place to go.

There are actually two large premises of Manchester Superstore directly opposite each other on either side of Cheetham Hill Road, and if you are into these kind of stores then you will need to check them both out! It may be the case that the one on the left as you travel out of town is more for a quick shop, but it also has a bunch of stuff upstairs - cookware, and kebab shop consumables! Across the road - on the right hand side of the road as you travel out of town - is a building of impressive architecture, which seems to be the wholesale premises, although it is open to the general public, no problem, and this is where I will be shopping from now on. I go for fresh produce, and freshness was above average plus I think Cheetham Hill prices are a bit lower. Just the usual routine for me - stocked up with okra, drumstick, karela, fresh chickpeas, plus fresh herbs which are the bargain of the century at 2 huge bunches for £1. Always good for a bit of ethnic atmosphere. Not quite as much of a feeling of a well-oiled machine as say Worldwide in Rusholme and not as busy at the tills, but the manager is a bit more friendly here on my visit, and opened up another till to get me through quickly. Really love my Desi supermarkets!

Morrisons at Piccadilly Gardens was rebranded as Morrisons Market Kitchen following a renovation…read morelast year, I really like the new store, which is massively improved and it is a welcome addition to Piccadilly Gardens. As you enter the store, there is a modern area with stands selling freshly cooked hot food, cakes, beverages and even smoothies, the choice is unique and unlike any other store of its' kind in the city centre, I would like perhaps a choice of two hot meals compared to a rotating one daily, as some of the choices are questionable, and a small seating area would be awesome, but of course, there are limitations as it is only a small store. In terms of the groceries, the selection is OK, they have a decent selection of most items you'd expect to find with a good stock of the essentials including bread, butter, milk and other cupboard items. The staff in the store seem friendly enough, and they have a large number of checkouts so you never have to wait too long to pay and leave. The longest wait seems to get into the store, they still seem to be managing the number of people allowed in the store at one time, even after the ending of COVID restrictions. I do think a mobile payment app, similar to Marks and Spencer would be useful here, hopefully, it will come in the future as Morrisons are trialling it in a couple of stores in the UK. 4* - A pretty good store which has improved dramatically since the refurb.

This is a small store, so it is pretty much only for essentials, if you are looking for a larger store, you may wish to head to Piccadilly Gardens or Market Street. The store had a good-to-go food and drink section, as well as stocking basic staples like milk/bread/meats. The staff seemed friendly enough and the store had a nice enough feel to it. There is a fridge that is broken so the overall stock in the store was reduced, which considering the stock is already reduced compared to other locations around the store anyway, is a little frustrating. 3*

I have to downgrade this ASDA store based on my recent experience for quite a few reasons. They…read moremay still be located in a shopping centre with quite a few other shops and restaurants such as A Card Factory, Greggs and Subway but this ASDA store does not have a Cafe itself making it a nightmare to do all your things in one place, or find somewhere that avoids cross contamination for Coeliacs like me. I may have said for the Chadderton branch, yes this is okay but the Harpurhey branch does not have it, that is right they do have a nice range of products here but still this isn't a great store. I couldn't even get a bottled water, a member of staff told me they did not have any and for me to go over the road. I am sure a big store like ASDA would have bottled water, the staff could also of been more polite in telling me this or checked for me. It is unlucky to have 1 bad incident with a member of staff but another one in 2 constitutive visits is really disappointing. One thing I do not like about ASDA, Despite being cheaper than Tesco for most things is that they do not have a loyalty scheme like Tesco's Clubcard or The Nectar Card of Sainsburys. This ASDA Does have a large clothes section if you need to look for clothes and get your groceries, you can do both of these in the same place. This ASDA store has a nice range of Gluten Free sausage and even had some on sample, they have The Black Farmer, Heck, Butchers Selection and their own Extra Special range (Avaliable in quite a few interesting flavours!) This ASDA does also have a DVD section and follow the traditional ASDA look for most items such as Milk and Starbucks Frappucinio Beverages at the fridge on the back wall near the DVD and Clothes sections, which strech to the back of the store. This ASDA has a partnership with Cresta Cars, if you use the freephone here you can get a token which gives you 75p off your journey and they do come in a few minutes. Due to the range of some products, I can't give this ASDA one star but I really don't think it deserves more than two. This store has no coffee machine either, a few local ASDA stores do but it seems the store that is desperate for one (no cafe£, doesn't have one.

I disagree with Alfie about Lidl not being the best place for a weekly shop. I often did my weekly shop here, even if it was sometimes necessary to supplement it with items from Worldwide and Tesco. The best things to buy: fruit and veg (really good deals like 29p for an aubergine, 19p for a cucumber), pesto (half the price of Tesco pesto), gin, cloudy lemonade, German beer, frozen pizzas (often half price), mozzarella, frozen Indian snacks, tortellini, antipasti, ice cream...

The store is in a good town centre location, close to Spinning Gate Shopping Centre and the Bus Station, with some buses stopping outside. It also houses Holland & Barrett and Sports Direct locations, which is a little strange in a supermarket, but at least it is expanding the brands available here, alongside your typical Cafe and Mobile Shops you'd expect to find in a large Tesco. While the product range was OK, I was disappointed with the poor choice of ready meals, more importantly, the flagship premium range from Tesco, out of any large Tesco Store, they probably have the worst "Tesco Finest" selection, with my favourite sausage and mash meal not being stocked here, they didn't even have a tag for it, so it wasn't just out of stock! They do have a small Scan as You Shop area which I feel makes the whole shopping experience much quicker and easier, but both Sainsbury's and ASDA nearby have this so it isn't unique. 3* - OK, If you do have more time there are better supermarkets in Leigh, but this store is OK and of course it is in the best location, with a Nando's nearby too!

I asked an assistant if there was a pasta making contest taking place anywhere and he laughingly remarked that there hadn't been any of the ingredients since 9am.

THIS IS A REVIEW FOR THE CAFE ONLY!! My previous review for the overall store is an excellent 5…read morestars Having reviewed the store on its re-opening I didn't get chance to eat that day so decided to get a bite while doing my shopping today. I was going to have an all day breakfast but I thought as I was heading over to Frurt a couple of hours later, I better have something lighter. I think it was a mistake. Not because it was bad, but boy was it expensive for what we had. This is not to say the Cafe as a whole is expensive, as I thought £4.95 for the all day breakfast was great however today I had a pre packed chicken salad sandwich which you can buy in the store, a small bag of kettle chips, a pepsi and a very small piece of rocky road. My guest had the same except she had a panini as opposed to the packed sandwich I had - and the cost, a whopping £13.57. I nearly knocked someone over as I staggered back in astonishment! Thirteen pounds! I mean come on - what I had was basically what an supermarket or petrol station call a 'Meal Deal' which costs £2.99. I basically paid £6.70 for this and the benefit of eating it in. I really should have just got the meal deal for £3 from the entrance and eaten it in my car! Admittedly my guest could not have had her panini hot in the car unless we sat it on the engine block for a good while, but even still the fact remains what I had in store would cost around £3.70 (the extra 70p being for the small piece of rocky road I had as well). The seating we chose wasn't the best either. There are three styles of seat to cater for different people. You have the sofa chairs, some padded round back support chairs and some normal wooden based chairs. We chose the padded round chairs as they looked very comfy but crikey were they restricting. I mean, I am not exactly skinny but I am not exactly high either - neither is my guest yet we both sat in the chairs and immediately looked at each other wondering if when we stood up - the chairs would be leaving with us! A lady much larger than ourselves came to the table next to us and I thought you poor soul, you are going to struggle and needless to say, she soon got up and chose a wooden chair. So if you do visit - make sure you only use the nice red padded chairs if you are about a female size 8, or a male size 30" waist as anything more then the chairs will just make you feel obese! So all in all I was not too impressed with my visit today. A VERY expensive sandwich and crisps - by the way the sandwich on its own was £3.09 which is more than complete 'Meal Deals" in store so couple that with a bad choice of seating then I know next time I am going to try the more reasonable £4.95 all day breakfast, and I will be sitting on the normal wooden chairs for sure.

It was a little hard to find staff members on the shop floor, perhaps this is due to ongoing social distancing guidelines due to COVID-19 as I have begun to notice this more often lately, even at other supermarkets. 3* - OK, worth an upgraded rating.

It is also just across the street from Sainsbury's as well as some other stores. So it is fairly central and hard to miss. The traffic in the car park is a bit of a nightmare... taxis waiting, cars not being able to get by because of the awkward shape of some parts of the car park. That is one of the reasons, I can't give the place five stars. However, there is a car park below the store that doesn't seem quite so busy and is great when it is pouring down outside. It is a paid car park... we missed that the first time, but fortunately it was such a quick trip we didn't have to worry about a ticket. Oops. There is a petrol station, which might also be causing some of the traffic problems. There is a covered area where you can wait for a taxi, but it doesn't seem to be large enough. There is an ATM as well. Another complaint I have, the large spinning doors to the store. One of the reasons for parking below the store... not having to put up with the spinning doors! There always seems to be someone who doesn't know how to use it and the whole thing just stops. Not to mention carts and this contraption are just not a good combination. They have a cafe and while it is cheap, I think I would prefer to pick up a snack at the deli or bakery at the back of the store. The store is always super busy and can make a quick shop a bit of a challenge. I do like their bakery and actually think they have some better looking (and tasting) dessert options than some of the other supermarkets in town. I also like their deli... really I like the part next door where they are baking pies, pasties, and sausage rolls. They always have fresh pasties and sausage rolls... sometimes they are still warm! Their pork and cranberry sausage rolls are my favourite! I think their produce area could use a bit of work as sometimes it looks a bit of a mess. I also tend to skip the frozen section. There are usually queues at the tills, but the staff are friendly. There are usually a number of self-checkout machines that are not working, so I usually skip the self-checkout here. Overall, there are some great parts of the store, but I wouldn't consider this for my normal, weekly shops.

One day they decided to stop me from buying more than 6 of any one item, even though I had been doing for about a year or so. The different staff to whom I was used to dealing with was so different - they were rude and very unhelpful, one morning when I was told I couldn't buy their product, I pushed my trolley at them and walked out (without my pound I had put in the trolley). Bad customer service. It has been about 3 years since I have been back, and nothing has changed, with one exception - less customers. All the products were the same, in the same place with the same packaging. The store was the same - very old fashioned and dimly lit , And the staff are the same. Rude, bad mannered and don't seem to have been trained in keeping the customer happy. I wandered round the very very empty (customer wise) store I was feeling more and more depressed and just wanted to leave. I had just nipped in since I had visited a friend who lived near by, for some sauce for my noodles. I picked them up and headed for the till, paid and went to the Lotto till. The woman behind the counter was a little further up from me leaning on the counter chatting to a man. She looked over at me and leant back on the counter to carry on her conversation. I tapped on the floor with my foot and waited patiently. A few minutes later she wandered over. I handed her my winning scratch card and she looked at me, looked at the emblem on my jumper and looked at me again - so what if it was a pole dancer. She scanned my winning card and looked at me again. So i looked back. She took the £2 from the till and I asked for two more cards with the winnings. She looked at me (without smiling once) and asked "you are over 16 aren't you?" so I replied "yes, I am 24". I have always looked young and am always being ID-ed so always carry my driving license. She didn't ask me for it. Just tutted, walked over to the other till and then shouted "that'll be £2". Confused I said "what will", "the scratch cards", "no, use the winning £2". She had forgotten I had just given her a winning card and she had put the money in her hand and it was still there. She tried explaining to me the scratch cards would cost me £2. Anyway I explained her job to her and she put her hand out to give me the cards, tutted and looked away. Skanky woman. I will never be returning to this place. And I didn't win on the new scratch cards. That is her fault. She probably fixed it.
