This Tesco Extra is quite a large store in Salford city center, right opposite the run down,…read morehorrible Salford City mall.
This is a large store, you can park on one floor and then you get the lift from the entrance and can get on the shop floor level.
This store actually isn't a 24 hour store, which is surprising for a store of its' size, instead only going between 6am and midnight, which is still reasonable, it is open until 5pm on Sunday's which is useful.
They have Scan as you shop facilities, which are quite handy machines.
The Customer service desk is quite nice, and modern compared to other stores, especially rival chains such as ASDA and Morrisons.
Still despite the size, this isn't a very nice store for shopping, the layout looks nice and modern, as it is a relatively new store I hear, but other than frozen gluten free scampi the range was quite poor.
The stock just seemed really depleted, and the stock of most items was low and quite poor for a store of its' size, and the more I got into the store, the more dissapointed I felt.
I was pleased to pick up some nice ham from the Deli, which was cut to my liking, but still the bacon ribs I picked up were cheap at a reduced price of £1 from £2, but still they tasted really fatty and I actually got a small bone stuck in my throat, which was unpleasant and shown bad quality produce, down to how the store produced it.
I'm finding it hard to "Rate" this store as I can argue for giving it both 1 and 2 stars, with 1.5 being more right, but due to issues faced I feel I can't go to 2 stars, while also considering the surrounding areas and issues with the store its-self, albeit it is probably at the top end of the 1 star rating, and although I admit this is slightly unfair, I can't warrant giving 2 stars as frankly, it doesn't seem to deserve it.
UPDATE: I feel I was being a little unfair with this store as they do have a decent Deli Counter and a satisfactory gluten free range, and a few other minor things which I feel have deserved the upgrade from a single one star to two.
