Probably my least favourite grocery store in and around Leigh town centre, and in a town which features 2 ASDA's, 2 ALDI'S, as well as a Lidl, Morrisons, Tesco and Sainsbury's, that's certainly saying something. This Aldi is located on Leighbrook Way, just behind the Sainsbury's and just in-front of the Asda, close to Parsonage Retail Park.
I wasn't too pleased with the product range overall, I also did find it hard to get in and around the store mainly down to the number of children who were just playing and crawling across the floor, I get the store can't be responsible for other customers, but why does this always seem to happen in an Aldi and not anywhere else? The store wasn't even that busy either.
I hate how this store has a policy where you must go through the checkouts to leave the store, especially considering they don't leave a wide enough aisle open to get through if you're not buying anything, which forces you to queue and wait to get out, which is really annoying, especially considering they only seemed to have a small number of checkouts on, despite being busy and no self-scanning facilities.
The selection of fruit and vegetables was OK and was probably the highlight of a rather mediocre Aldi, and it was easy enough to get in and out of the car-park as either a pedestrian or in a car. 2* read more
