Even when it first became Spar, it was alright for a spar. But new owners/staff dont seem to know the meaning of customer service, or as far as I can gather speak. At least in English, to customers - just blank looks. Shame really.

I always find that service/petrol stations which are owned/operated by EuroGarages seem to have the…read moreedge, this location is not an exception, a large, modern service station within the town of Ramsbottom located in the Bury area of Greater Manchester which appears to have been recently refurbished, it's only a short tour off the motorway and also has a drive-thru Starbucks as part of the complex. The facilities are basic but pretty much what you'd expect including slightly expensive petrol, a store selling basic essentials, toilets, I do think a Subway or a food outlet would have been handy, but Starbucks is obviously great for coffee, plus if you're in a rush the convenience store (Spar) also has a coffee machine, meaning you can instantly get your drink without having to actually go inside Starbucks, but do visit the Starbucks too if you have a chance as it is a rather nice location. With the petrol station being Esso branded, you are able to collect Nectar points on fuel, as far as I'm aware this doesn't extend to other parts of the store meaning any groceries/coffee you buy, you can't claim points on. Pretty average service station in terms of facilities, They do seem to be missing a trick by not including Amazon Lockers, they do have them at Morrisons which is just over half a mile away but of course the hours are limited due to the store opening hours. 4*

It's a fairly decent size and has a considerable amount of stock inside which is perfect should you be short of something that you need urgently. The prices are reasonable and the staff are lovely (they have been known to give my little boy lollypops!) and they take the time to recognise you and bid you hello and goodbye and if not too busy to have a little chat giving it that genuine community feel. Sweets, chocolate, milk, nappies, bread, alcohol, washing up liquid, cat litter..you name it and they probably either stock it or a good substitute.
