Prior to the recent opening of this store the 'local' Sainsbury's for anyone living in Llandudno…read morewas fifteen miles away in Rhyl. As a result when news broke that they were to open a new branch in Llandudno's former Woolworths store this created a bit of a buzz. It's obvious this was never going to be a supermarket, it has no car park and being located in a busy part of town where parking is often difficult to find it was always going to be a place where for the most part you could only ever buy as much as you can comfortably carry.

As an added plus you can also buy a hot pie on the way out!
